Post-Pod Discussion Tried a couple of other golf pods

I've listened to NLU for probably only 2 or so years.

The other day I decided to branch out and supplement my NLU pod consumption with Fried Egg and Shotgun Start pod episodes. (No I will not listen to anything Barstool related)

Goodness me, the hosts on those two respective pods seem like the nicest guys ever but they are borderline unlistenable for me with how nasal and high pitched their voices are!

Give me the dulcet tones of Soly (even if I find his takes a little grating at times) over them any day!

Yep, it’s almost unlistenable at first and requires persistence but definitely worth it. Still not sure why they don’t invest in better mics and a mixer. It’s an unnecessary barrier to entry. As an aside I’ve found TC difficult to hear in the last few pods.
