Phillip, do u know of any manufacturers that keep a close eys on your site? I know for a fact that Volkswagen keeps an eye on forums.vwvortex.com (the community Car Lounge) Maybe we can catch some1'es eye and as a result that company could improve their products like u mentioned.

Phillip, I love the podcasts, but I'm begging you, please do something to level the audio volume! Perhaps some audio compression...

When I listen in my car, if I turn up the volume enough to hear the quiet parts, the loud parts nearly blow out my speakers. And the difference in volume can often be in a single sentance of yours (hard "p" sounds are often extremely loud, even as other sounds are much quieter).

Also, the segments you splice in, like your interviews, are usually at a very different volume than the rest of the 'cast, and even within those pieces your voice and that of the person with whom you're speaking are at very different volumes.

hmm, the content was normalized, so this one should be a lot better. drop me a note and let me know, we'll try our best to get it as good as possible.

cheers,
pt

Hey, if you want us to be able to "mix" your podcasts to create our own podcasts, why not put your podcasts under a creative commons license?

You rock!!!

Hey Phillip, could you or one of your listeners let us know what the telemarketer actually said. I had a very hard time hearing what she says right before she says she can take you off her list. Thanks! LOVE YOUR PODCAST. -savage
