Podcast loudness target
The podcast loudness convention is approximately −16 LUFS integrated for stereo (−19 for mono) with a true-peak ceiling around −1 dBTP.
Conforming to the convention keeps episodes level with the rest of a listener's queue. Platforms increasingly normalize anyway, so the real sin is inconsistency between your own episodes and segments.
