I always liked festival over espeak. The voices just sound more real to me. I find that shows where the host does all the mixing of the intro/outro music sound the best as far as levels go. I don't really care my ears have been blown out of the water a few times and a few more isn't going to mak

Mike Ray said: > The music is too loud, as others have said. Actually, I think that the music is at a good level, but the show content itself is much too quiet. As David Lee said, a bit of post-production can be extremely helpful, and this can probably be automated. I do love the music, but it

I know it's been brought up in the past, but if we're revisiting the whole thing, is there a better voice available for espeak these days?

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

I'm a bit new to the community, but that said here is my opinion. I'm ok with the setup as it is, but if we could make the intro/outro music a little quieter (to more closely match the show) that would be nice. While it is a little boring to hear the "thank you" every time, it is polite and
