    Good podcast but needs minor improvements
    Although this podcast is close to perfect there are still many improvements that needs to be made. Pros 1. I love how this podcast talks about common issues found in everyday primary care outpatient setting 2. Love how the two providers always ask questions such as “well if a patient has elevated GGT what does it mean? And what are the next steps? And etc 3. very informational. And they go directly to the point 4. Having specialist go on the show are very awesome however I think the two providers/host do an amazing job also 5. Doing quick pointers at the end the episode would be very helpful also! I look forward to these episodes Improvements 1. The volume is very very low. I always need to turn my car volume or headphone to the highest volume to hear. If we can improve on the volume/recording volume that would be awesome. I do find that is common with new podcasts 2. In some episodes I feel like certain words causing a loud microphone sound. For example in episode with palpitations and Afib certain words that start with B or phrases creates this loud sound on the microphone 3. I notice in the anemia episode, one of the provider is constantly saying “yeah, yup, ummhmm” which all can be distracting for the listener. Interruption for questions are fine, but usually for podcast you don’t really hear the other party agreeing and having background comments.
