Episode 367 Volume Problem (Patreon)

Hey all, audio editor Esper Quinn here.

Recently we started releasing the "SICK FREAK MIX" of episodes due to insistence by many forum members and other listeners that the buzzer isn't loud enough. I DO NOT WANT THE SHOW TO SOUND LIKE THAT, so for a long time I have considered making separate versions of the show that have louder and quieter buzzers as the audience likes.

In the past this was impossible, because all audio uploaded to Patreon was immediately pushed in the podcast feed. A new feature let me decide what goes into the feed and what doesn't. Clearly that new feature failed, as many of our paying subscribers were served the Sick Freak Mix in place of the normal episode. While I triple-checked every setting to make sure this would not happen, I still apologize for it.

I don't want anyone who isn't prepared for Sick Freak Mix listening to it. Not joking here, I don't think anyone should listen to it. I don't like making or presenting it, but some people really seem to love it, so I did. The absolute worst thing a chef can do is serve you food that makes you sick, and the absolute worst thing an audio editor can do is give you audio that hurts your ears. First, do no harm. It sounds silly but I take this stuff really seriously.

That post has been deleted. Going forward these versions of the show will only be available as a link to a google drive, which I will include in Patreon feed show notes. You'll have to download them yourself if you'd like to listen to them. Again, I apologize. Thanks for your time and understanding.
