I'm going through the podcast (from #1 on), plugging in my phone into the audio system in my car. That's a demanding audio environment. BLESSINGS on whomever it was who roughly equalized the audio levels of

• 400-Rabbits
• AnnalsPornographie
• the intro theme
• Google Maps audio on "Softer" mode

and made it loud enough where I didn't have to turn up the sound on my phone!
