hi James i look forward to every episode....thank you for following your interests and inspirations. i have a technical request- can you increase the overall volume of your recording output ?? your episodes are quieter than many others i listen to, and while i love the intimacy of your conversation, simply increasing the master level would be most helpful when we're listening in the world!!
thank u! r o b
