Whilst I agree that the theme music could do with turning down a bit, I also think that some hosts could do more to improve the levels on their recorded segment. This is an observation I have towards many podcasts, not just HPR episodes. A tiny amount of post-production effort can make a huge amount of difference to the final episode.
