Customer Reviews
Love it
This podcast is wonderful and so rich in history! It’s the perfect resource to enjoy after the tours at Carnton, Carter House of Rippavilla! Small note: I wonder if it would help with engagement to shorten the song at the beginning or insert a talking preview snippet before the song? That’s such valuable time for hooking in listeners and it feels a bit long☺️ Otherwise flawless content!
I want to like it
But I can’t hear anything they’re saying. The equipment needs to be upgraded obviously.
Great podcast, but turn the sound up!
This is such a great podcast but the sound is way too quiet. In order for me even to hear it I have to plug it in to an auxiliary outlet with louder speakers. Not sure if it’s a recording issue or if the people on the podcast are just very soft-spoken. That said, I absolutely love listening! I wish there were episodes that came out every week!
