They need to tell Paul to talk into the mic. Most of the time hes on a podcast he's way to quiet

It seemed like the audio levels were off - could barely hear Paul even when the volume was loud for the Dan duo.

@corporeal77: Yeah, something strange happened to the compression of the episode. I guess Danny isn't used to the new podcast studio :p

I'm not even Irish and I'm with Danny, when the Dubliners come on, you gotta sing along, at least join in on the chorus.

@chaser324 said:

If you have serious depression, seek support from your friends and family and please talk to someone that can provide you with good professional help. While stuff like meditation, eating well, and exercise can help anyone feel a bit better, they're not some sort of miracle panacea for people with clinical depression.

At a certain point, giving that sort of advice to people that need real help is pretty damn irresponsible regardless of how many disclaimers you put up front that you're "not experts". If you can't offer sound reasonable advice to these sorts of questions, maybe you should try something less serious like questions from Yahoo Answers.

I'm surprised how often they get a more serious question and don't immediately suggest everything you just said. If anything, Danny (or whoever screens the questions) should just entirely stop reading these questions on-air; the two of them (plus guest) are usually very ill-equipped to offer anything close to a responsible bit of advice for people with serious problems. I get the sense that Danny and Dan don't want to turn this into full comedy advice podcast, but yeah, they should ease off the more extreme end of questions.

Also, yep, it sure has been over 2 months since this podcast last updated.
