I listened to your podcast and am so glad you guys are focused on improving your audio. Audio quality is way more important than video, and good CLOSE-SOUNDING audio is one of the main things that draw me to a podcast and keep me coming back for more (with good content of course).

(Often I will have a podcast playing in the background while I'm doing something else, or just listen to the audio portion of a video podcast such as JRE. So good audio is super important).

Despite your thick foreign accents, you two are at least understandable when listening to you. Here are some things I'd love to see (just my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right) that would make your podcast even more inviting (note that I keep saying "listen" more than watch, that's how important audio is) and cause me to tune into your podcast even more:

• I love the close sound that a good podcast offers, almost as if the speaker is talking right into my ear. Take a listen to the latest No Agenda Show. Notice how close hosts Adam and John sound. I love listening to them and download their shows twice a week and have been listening to them since 2012.

  Take a listen to the Macbreak Weekly podcast. Notice how host Leo Laporte has that mic right up next to his mouth? That results in that close sound that I like so much, and I've been listening to him for years as well due to the audio quality as well as the content. Target audio like this (meaning you need those adjustable boom mic arms where you can get that mic about an inch or two away from your mouths (as opposed to sitting far away on the table) and you'll make me a very happy fan of your podcast). :)

• The Mysterious Radio Podcast is an example of bad audio. In this episode on the music industry and the occult, notice that while the host K-town sounds "close," her voice comes across as "thick" and "muddy." I don't know what she did to ruin it. The content is great, but the sound is just awful, and sometimes its hard to make out what she's saying.

• The curtains behind you are horrid and resemble swimming sperm in the background. I'd suggest something of a primary color, maybe a royal purple or wine red possibly. Something to make you stand out against the background. I like the monitor placement, and a larger one would be great. Love the "On Air" sign too.

  Did I say those curtains are horrible? :)
  

• I wish your podcast name was 3 words instead of 4. "Cold Beet Soup" or Beet Root Soup" rolls off the tounge better and is easier to remember than "Cold Beet Root Soup" which my brain turns into "Cold Beet Reet Soup" for some reason. It may be too late to alter it, but I'm prone to forgetting one of the words when talking about your podcast to someone.

• I LOVE your intro video with the little TV. Its short and memorable, and gets us right into the content.

(Sorry this reply is so long, but I really want your podcast to grow and do well). Down the line you'll adjust lighting, etc. But you guys are doing a great job so far. I notice little things (hence EverNoticeThat) and thought I'd share some ideas that would make me like the podcast even more. Best wishes and KEEP GOING! :)
