Long pauses, inconsistent guest levels, and oversized files
Podcast audio lives or dies on consistency: every guest sounds different, every recording session has dead air, and every platform wants different loudness. The standard pipeline is trim silence → normalize to -16 LUFS → encode to MP3 at 96-128 kbps mono. Doing this in a browser saves you from booting a DAW for a one-pass cleanup.

Podcasters FAQ
What loudness target for podcasts?
-16 LUFS integrated is the Apple Podcasts and broadcast standard. -19 LUFS is right for spoken-word with music beds. Most platforms have shifted toward -16 LUFS for consistency.
MP3 mono or stereo for podcasts?
Mono at 96-128 kbps is plenty for voice-only content and halves your file size. Save stereo for music shows or interviews where the guests are panned for clarity.
