I would. It seems like you have a rosier impression of how this sounds than anyone else who listens. It's not completely unintelligible, but it's worse than "not good" to me. It just sounds plain bad.
If I started listening to a podcast, and it sounded like this, I would just turn it off. Unless I was keenly interested in the subject material. Subpar audio recording is a peeve of mine, particular in a medium that's all about information via audio.
But thanks for publicizing this. It's good to know that it exists, and what it sounds like.

Most of the time people who stick with podcasts stick with it because of content and/or creators, so that's more the case I was thinking of. The terrible mics would probably become a shared joke, if anything -- though you'd lose some people like you who really expect at least a good mic out of a podcast (which is a very reasonable expectation!) > But thanks for publicizing this. It's good to know that it exists, and what it sounds like. No problem! Glad it was useful
