To get a great podcast sound, you need to use processing tools like compressors. Natural-sounding podcast audio from outlets like NPR and Gimlet Media is anything but natural. A lot of the work of finishing your podcast once you’ve recorded it is making it sound better without the audience ever realizing you’ve changed anything.
