    I am unsure were to post this but the volume on these podcasts is very low. I find I need to alter the volume between listening other podcasts and this one and I still can't hear it properly.

    Compare with BBC podcastLate night linux

    Hi Andres

     

    Thanks for the feedback. We're aware of this issue and from Episode four onwards the volume should be higher.
