Ahhh. True. We had some sound difficulties in that first interview w/ Mia Garlick (which makes up episodes 1-3). I blame it on “operatator [me] error”. I had set the mic on the table between us (lodged in a kleenex box, to be exact) and we just did the interview across the table. I later realized that my mic (an RE 150) needs to be *directly* in front of the mouth of the person speaking or it won’t pick up the sound (I recognize this is a desireble characteristic for a mic). So, Ben did his best to bring up the volume and make it at least audible.

You are right, he is.
I had just recently found your paudcasts and had only listened to the first few, which were unlevelated, when I made my complaint. I should have looked into it more before I opened my big fat keyboard. (sorry about that Ben)
I recommend Levelating your past shows, If Ben can find the time. I too edit out mmms and uhs and cu cu cut out the stutterings, and know that editing an especially bad one hour file can take four or five hours to make it sound flawless. He does a great job for you.

thanks again

Hi Dane,
I think Ben is using Levelator. We’ll double check and see what we can do to improve the audio. Thanks for listening!

Hi Colette, great paudcast. (I spell it that way in protest of apple’s DRM)

Please, Please, Please have Ben use the free Levelator by GigaVox to equal out your audio.
It will give everyone a better listening experience.

Keep up the good work.
