Are you using your compressor and limiter wrong when mixing your podcasts? There's a fine line between reducing the dynamic range and over-compressing it. Listen to examples of each to hear how much damage a limiter causes and what overcompression sounds like.
I mention an example I didn't have time for. Here are the links to the same recording from the Futur featuring Chris Do and Jule Kim. One is the video that is up on YouTube and one is the Podcast. Which one sounds better to you?
