Normally love this podcast, but the sound quality in this one is really difficult. Specifically with the voice of Sherman Stein, it’s really difficult to hear what he’s saying. The rest seems fine.

Agreed, hippie. Wow, I haven’t said that in awhile. ;)
The crappy sound quality is the result of doing an interview over the phone, rather than over Skype. We avoid old technology like the plague, but sometimes it isn’t possible. And our editor is amazing, but unfortunately, he’s not magic. Our apologies.
The sound is back to normal on this week’s episode. :)

Lol, not a woo-woo hippie don’t worry.
I figured it was a one-off problem, as normally the sound quality is fine. And no, a magical editor wouldn’t fit so well with the podcast’s remit anyway ;-)
