“The sound quality of this podcast is terrible. One host’s voice is typically three times louder than the other host. It’s so loud it’s distorted, like he’s shouting into the microphone. But I can’t simply turn down the volume because that renders the other host inaudible. The content might be good, but I’ll never know because I can’t stand listening to it for more than five minutes. Sorry to be harsh, but sound levels are Podcasting 1.0, especially since so many listeners are using earbuds. UPDATE: The sound quality of this podcast is actually getting worse. When the volume of the musical elements of the “One Hand Clapping” episode is set at a listenable volume, the volume level of three hosts varies from almost inaudible (Tom) to much too quiet, to a little too quiet. It’s maddening. If it ever gets fixed — audio normalizing is a one-click, free “fix” in Audacity — I’ll listen. But regrettably I am now just going to unsubscribe.”
