    It would be great if you could normalize your audio, I couldn't get this episode loud enough on my mobile to listen to.

    I've fixed the audio levels. It should be up within the next hour.

    The audio problems on this pod cast series go way beyond just having to normalize the audio as normalizing will not fix that constant hissing sound. Charles, you need to figure out how to record ‘clean’ audio. It’s amazing that you are OK with releasing podcasts of such a terrible sound quality. If you want an example of podcast series with great audio quality then check out 5 by 5 podcasts by Dan Benjamin. I just deleted all your episodes from iTunes because it’s too painful to listen. Just imagine how many others did the same.
