To help you manage the loudness of your final podcast episodes, the Youlean Loudness Meter 2 plugin is excellent. There’s a free version and a Pro version with more features (only $39 one-time payment with lifetime free updates).
I haven’t tried this plugin yet but the reviews are great.
You can use this in your DAW to set your episode’s final loudness to the unofficial podcast loudness standards: -16 LUFS for stereo, or -19 LUFS for mono episodes.

This is part of my every day workflow. There are other great tools out there, but nothing has supplanted this for me.
Good to hear — thanks for sharing 🙂
