Great content- hard to hear

The content provided on this podcast is great! The only issue I have is that the audio is not in stereo. Having one voice on the left and one voice on the right is difficult to listen to. This is made worse if you have any hearing loss in one ear or the other. Once this is fixed it will be easily be a 5 star podcast!

Please, stop interrupting guests

This is a very informative podcast for safety professionals, covering very relevant topics. Unfortunately, it is unlistenable for me due to Scott not allowing his guests to speak without interrupting with “mhmm”, “okay”, or “right”, every 20 seconds. There is no need to interrupt the expert you have invited to your podcast after every point they suggest. Best Regards

Great show that’s hard to listen to.

This podcast is easily a 5-star, but for the sound quality (sounds like they record in a bathroom and hard to hear the speakers). A better recording location and microphone are all you need to take this to the next level. Either way, keep doing what you’re doing — it’s great info!
TrainSafe

Great content

The topic selection has been spot on. I like that the length of the podcasts are just right- short enough to listen while I'm doing other tasks and long enough to provide depth on the topic of the day. I'll echo some of the other comments about hearing the featured guest - the sound quality could be improved.

Poor sound quality.

Great information. Atrocious sound quality. Come on, ASSP, use some of the dues we pay you to hire a sound guy. If the audio quality was better, I’d easily give this podcast a 4.5 - 5 star review.
PRCSGuru

Very informative podcast with technical issues

I’d easily give the podcast a five star review but on half the episodes I have to max the volume out on my iPhone or car just to hear what the guests have to say.
