    I have been anxious to listen to this podcast on branding, but even with the volume turned all the way up on both my pc and in MediaPlayer, I can barely hear a voice and definitely can’t make out what’s being said. Is there any way to get a more ‘listenable’ podcast?

    I’m re-uploading the file as we speak! I goosed up the global volume 60% which is as far as I can go without introducing distortion artifacts on the “loud” parts. Please let us know if this does anything for you and be sure to delete the old MP3 file first of course!
