Dynamic range in this context refers to the difference in loudness between when a host or guest speaks at their softest, lowest level and when they speak their loudest, highest level.
Some hosts/guests speak at a consistent volume and this would be considered a relatively small dynamic range. They never get very loud or very soft.
Other hosts/guests go from screaming loudly to whispering and back and forth constantly. This would be considered a relatively large dynamic range. Oh, and drastically changing your proximity to the microphone will also cause a larger dynamic range.
Do you treat these two types of hosts/guests differently in post-production? How so?

Still doing the compression exercises, hoping to wrap them up soon. But yeah, compression is key for these. It makes such a huge difference especially those that tend to be all over the place. Knowing how to do this appropriately will help prevent hair loss.
Compressor, multi-band compressor, limiter, expander and leveller.
Each individual will have some (or all!) at the track level, again at the bus level and again at the master level.
