I downloaded the mp3 to listen to this, but the audio is filled with weird squeaks, squawks, and short skips. I don't know if their microphone is broke, if this is some effects they added to be cute, or if their mp3 download is simply corrupted. Either way, it's intolerable. I couldn't listen to it for more than a minute.

The server reports that the MP3 file that you get from the download link is 79950993 bytes long, but the connection is closed for me after 79944810 bytes each time I try to download it.

Perhaps this is the reason?

The download link differs from the link that the embedded player is using for the file.

Try downloading the file that the embedded player uses instead. Here's a link to said file: https://www.grant-williams.com/podcast-player/33211/the-gran...

Interestingly the download errors after 79944810 bytes using http1.1, but 79928426 bytes using http2. Strange!

Thanks, that embed link worked properly.

That link works and sounds fine, thank you.
There must be a problem with the mp3. I'm listening online and there's no such issues.
I’m not hearing anything like that.
That's the sound of Non Fungible Tinnitus.
