The a slightly short gap between each sentence in the “dialogue only” audios.
You see, some people prefer to listen first and then repeat what they heard after each sentence ends.
This approach can help you listen more clearly.
You might argue that you can simply use the pause button, but there are many situations where this is quite difficult, such as when you are driving, running, or cooking. It would be beneficial to have a longer pause, approximately 1.2 times longer than the demo.
And I think the audio volume is a bit too low, I need to turn it up to a higher level to hear it clearly (I’m using bone conduction headphones like shokz) and then my phone goes crazy with “high volume may damage your hearing”, I’d like to be able to crank up the volume a bit for future episodes.
