- KingJulian 4y agoPocketCasts has a feature called _Volume Boost_ which boosts the sound level. This is often helpful in some podcasts where the audio level is a bit too low in some sections. To my knowledge, Antennapod does not have this. I've been using it for over a year now.
- kasabali 4y agoIs it a simple boost or is it dynamic range compression? If the latter I might be interested.

- fbdab103 4y agoThis is amusing to me, as my perpetual problem with phone audio is that everything is too loud. I am repeatedly tapping between the lowest tick and full mute, because I am already at the bottom of the standard curve.
- KingJulian 4y agoI see. It's the opposite for me. I listen to podcasts during long drives. The background noise tends to drown out the audio quite a bit.
- infamia 4y agoAntennaPod has a volume reduction setting that is per podcast which solves the same problem, but from the opposite side if the spectrum. All of the podcasts that I subscribe to that have poor volume levels are all too loud. I'm sure there are lots of others that are too low though.
- KingJulian 4y agoI wasn't familiar with the audio reduction feature. Thanks for pointing it out. My issue has more to do with background noise from my surroundings.
- tomjuggler 4y agoI moved from Pocket Casts to Antennapod a few years ago, after a major UI update made the features I used the most inaccessible. I remember the new podcast discovery being better, but otherwise have been very happy with Antennapod since.
- morsch 4y agoPocketcasts let's you share individual podcast episodes and even timestamps within episodes with a nice interface. Kind of nice. E.g. https://pca.st/jat671rh#t=1861 https://pca.st/jat671rh#t=1861
