Я заметил, что я не могу увидеть «Hunter from Atlanta» в iTunes. Почему?

Well, the answer is far too complex to explain in Russian!

I noticed this when I finally got round to rating you on iTunes. I’m not an Apple person, but I am quite technical (может быть, есть связь, шутка, шутка) and the way iTunes works surprised me. Basically, reviews are filtered by country. So if you are not in the US, you don’t see US reviews. Did you know this? You may have more reviews than you realise.

Here are some example links for different countries. Each one shows different reviews.

Большое спасибо за все ваши достопримечательные видео и подкасты. У вас интересная жизнь.

Over the past year I’ve consumed pretty much all your content, so I should have lots of suggestions for improvements for you, but … err … I don’t really! What you are making is great! Even in your early videos it was obvious you were putting a lot of effort in with the subtitles and so on. I’ve joined patreon to say thanks for all that work. (I’ll be a member for one year).

I started learning Russian last year just for fun – У меня нет цели, Я просто подумал – классные буквы, Я раздолбай, и т. д. – and decided to do it from scratch with YouTube as my teacher. Amazingly it worked. I can now follow the basic gist of your podcasts the first time I hear them.

My experience is probably not typical, so I am reluctant to criticise anything, but perhaps a quick word about sound quality. Your sound always been brilliant on your solo podcasts, even before the new mic, but not so much when you have a guest (one person too quiet, skype feedback noise, etc.). The issue is probably exacerbated by the fact you speak so much more clearly than the average guest. Nothing you can do about that!

Anyway, thanks again for sharing your life, language and country with us.

С днем ​​рождения дорогой подкаст
