Great content but not so great mic quality

I really enjoy listening to the podcast but often find myself struggling with the host (I believe steve) fading out mid sentence in the microphone. I have listened to multiple and my guess is he turns away to read a note or something but it is really distracting and I miss out on points being discussed. When I crank up the volume to hear, the sound level is way loud when back towards the mic. Would love to be able to focus on the content more than straining to hear!
