Podcasters, if you do a show and particularly if you do interviews or multi-person, multi-mike shows, you need the Levelator. I'm running all my interviews through it nowadays and it makes a world of difference. When two people are not at the same level, this evens them back out and makes it all good. It's free, so take it and use it. There's just no real reason to have that 12 dB difference in levels between people in a show anymore. It just means you aren't even trying.

Via Gigavox big wheel Michael Geoghegan comes a link to their own interview with Bruce Sharpe, the guy who built the Levelator. For those of you into the inner workings of RMS normalization, this is your thing!
