Halfway through this one. Loving the content and the ambience (Stephen setting the scene visually etc).
For those of us who are becoming deaf, this audio is not loud enough. I have all the sound settings max’d, I’m using good headphones, and it’s still hard to hear the detail. Is it possible to record this all a bit hotter (normal people could just turn it down). It’s likely that no one has ever asked Stephen to make it a little hotter, but that’s my request. Back again soon oxoxox / J.

Since there were so many references to various numbers (of listeners, of people who get the overly personal emails, etc.) here are mine: I listened all the way to the end, I’m one of the 3600, and Stephen has never made me cry. (Once we were in the same room but he won’t remember it ROFL.)
Wanting to increase the TOTAL NUMBER OF READERS is where the OTHER Steve’s and my obsessions intersect. Still talking about numbers…
“The world of commitment and relationship…the last frontier”…the sense of danger in these podcasts is where some of the awesomeness comes from. I’ve not yet had a commment approved for posting here, so two at once might be too many; if you like, you can just take whatever you like from this one and the one before. Shalom.

Enjoyed this, very much. However, wonder if you guys can amp up your recording because it was hard to hear. Thanks.
