Absolutely love this podcast, but the sound levels make it difficult to listen to sometimes, especially in the car. One of them is usually significantly louder or quieter, Chris always sounds like he’s in a tin can, and there’s generally never a consistent volume across the board. Please please please fix this! Everything else about this show is perfect.

I just finished listening to the last episode. I found this podcast months ago and have been listening as I drive between patients’ homes for work. I have been a little obsessed and now anytime I provide some information about a random subject my family just says ‘you learned that from your podcast, right?’ I enjoy the trivia and I feel like I know you all by now. Thanks for putting this out there and I look forward to new episodes in the spring.

This show is the show that I always start out recommending to people who haven’t really gotten into podcasting bc there is NO WAY that they won’t like it.
It’s like the cool rock that you found on the beach that you know will illicit an “ooooHhhooohhh” when showing people 👏🏼 👏🏼
Paramadness00 · Jun 2023
The alliterations were fun for a while. Now it makes me cringe every time the show starts and I have to convince myself not to turn it off. We’re all impressed that you can pull words from the same section of a dictionary to make a ridiculous sentences. It takes more than having nouns and verbs in their proper places to make a sentence that people want to hear.
And turn down Karen’s microphone! (Or off, if you can—bring back Dana!)
