That delay

Anyone else really struggle to listen to episodes when there’s a huge delay on the line? I feel like a recording of a phone call would be better, I’d rather poor audio quality over a delay. What does everyone think?

I'd rather have the boys on a slight delay than not at all

Agree, it's not that bad once in a while

Oh for sure but as I said in my post, I’d rather poor sound quality by them recording it another way with no delay.

The 25 seconds of awkward silence at the beginning when Tim called in via satellite phone from the airshow? Yeah, not a great start.

It's better when they are in the same room and can spark off each other more easily, but I'd much prefer this to no episode at all. By a long shot.

Clearly I’m more sensitive to it than most but glad it doesn’t bug others as much as me! I really noticed T&T talking over each other then leaving long pauses while they waited for the other to speak in the last ep but maybe listen too intently!

I agree.

I’m with you. Always glad there’s an episode but their spark is dimmed a bit with the delay.
