“It’s really, really hard to listen to. When someone drops the volume of the end of a sentence, sometimes, I have to go back and turn it up higher, play that part again......
For a great example of “dropping the end of the sentence”: Michael Barbaro of The Daily does this and I’ve given up trying to listen to him. When he says “this is Michael Barbaro”, you don’t hear the baro at all.
I’ve talked with folks about this and it bugs a lot of us, but no one complains - they just give up. I think by mentioning it constructively, maybe podcasters might be able to work a trick to keep the volume of the sentences more even?
I truly thought it was me, and maybe my hearing or my earbuds, etc., and after testing it out a few different ways, I realize it is speaking style. And with today’s technology - I bet it can be fixed pretty easily(?). Anyways, thank you for listening, and the podcast is AS GOOD AS everyone has said!!!!”
