I didn't mind the audio quality at all. It felt like I was walking with you. For me, it was a sound-scape. I enjoyed the show and the sound effects just made it more interesting.

(I do issue with the audio quality, but it's ONLY about the levels of the Intro and Outro's matching the podcast itself. Our ears are precious and especially if you're wearing earpieces. It's more a matter of safety for me, not quality.)
