An introduction to the podcast series

The creators of this podcast know that its audio quality is horrible—they even made a joke about it at the outset of Season Two Episode One. Some ways into this episode, the audio becomes so bad that one cannot understand practically any of the dialogue. While the audio in S2E1 is uniquely bad, it isn’t much worse than that in most of the other episodes. This really has to change.
When one subtracts the bad audio, the podcast is quite wonderful, fantastic even. But the audio has become so bad as to be unbearable. While I do love this podcast, I won’t be able to endure listening to it until the audio is improved.

Wonderful podcast, infuriatingly horrible audio
