Congrats on a great second podcast - I’ve got it on in the background and love how you’re covering things such as forum discussions 
Quick suggestion (no worries if you think it’ll be too much work) but I reckon when you post on the forum adding two headings/sections (under the video) would be really helpful:
Topics Covered
- News
- Blog Posts
- Discussion Topic 1
- Discussion Topic 2
- Etc
- (If you can add time-stamps even better)
Related Threads
- Related Thread 1
- Related Thread 2
- Blog Post Thread 1
- Blog Post Thread 2
- etc
Reasons:
- Let’s people quickly see whether you’re covering a topic they might be interested in (so the more complete your list is the better)
- When you link to a thread you actually get a link back to this one, so if someone is following a discussion they’ll see you covered it in your podcast too
- Let’s people jump straight into those discussions as well if they fancy it
No worries if you think it’s too much work, but worth a go imo 
Thank you and that’s a great idea! I wasn’t sure what to put here, so I kept it minimal. But here’s the summary of today’s episode already in that format

Hi
Great stuff—it’s really cool to have this podcast. If I may make a suggestion: there is a significant difference in volume between the two of you; using a compressor could help even out the levels and make for a more comfortable listening experience.
Best regards

Heya @nseaSeb, thanks for the suggestion! We are aware of the volume difference, we’re still working on dialing in our setup
We’re gonna try playing with some of the mic settings before the next episode and hopefully it will be better. Thanks for listening!!
