Go Bats!
Love the pod! But please fix the volume and audio issues, it’s so hard to hear and so inconsistent between hosts. Thanks!

Really enjoy the show, but swiping sound effects are totally unnecessary.
Really enjoy Ally and Kelly and their banter. Please get rid of the sound effects while they’re talking… I just can’t listen to that.

Really enjoy this show and feel like I’m talking to my friends who love womens sports as much as I do.
