I watched a few videos on podcast recommendations for mixing and mastering. I placed a compressor on the narration and a few other channels that the sound effects were too dynamic and pushed the levels higher. I did some automated fading between sequences of sound fading into the narration.
I finally placed a light compressor on the stereo main outs. And added a limited to put a ceiling on the audio. I think it sounds really well and I’m content with the outcome!
