"Earwolf" ending audio tag / title card too loud!

[boxofgeese 18]

Hey Earwolf crew!

 

Small note to consider. The tag / title card at the end of every Earwolf show seems a louder than the show that preceeded it. Usually this isn't an issue - I can pause, turn it down, etc (you know, all that "normal" stuff).

However, I often listen to podcasts while working, and if that ending tag plays while my hands are occupied and I can't adjust the volume, it's rather painful. The audio quality from Earwolf is consistently professional and damn near perfect, and once I get the audio comfortably adjusted for a show, it's a painful surprise when that tag blasts me at the end. (I'm specifically referring to Nick Kroll's Chupacabra tag - that goat-eater shriek pierces the 'drums.)

 

Thanks for reading and thanks for the hours of amazing entertainment!

For sure it's louder, but for me it's always race to take off my headphones so I don't have to hear the animal noises at the end. I think it was maybe a little funny the first time I heard it, but now it's so overwhelmingly grating that I tear the earphones away like they're on fire.

 

Lot's of great shows wish there was a gentler (quieter) send off.

Agreed. I always fast forward through the end to try and save my ears.

Same here - I HATE the audio tag, always have to rush to shut down my mp3 player.
