I received a comment recently about the podcast from someone who was commuting while listening to ALL of the episodes (hope he didn't fall asleep and crash his car). It appears that the sound level drops after the intro, and then goes back up near the end. I adjusted the software in Episode 135 to address this issue. I also upgraded from a good microphone to a really good one, so there is now somewhat more resonance in the sound quality. If you notice a difference, or have other suggestions for improving the podcast, please let me know. Thanks!
