Great Podcast

Love the show, excellent quality. The one change I'd like to see is TURN THE CHUFFING MUSIC DOWN when there's a break. I have the volume relatively high so I can hear what's being said, then out of nowhere the annoying squeaky music blasts my ears to pieces. Other than that, brilliant pod.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
