HOW TO HEAR PODCASTS THAT ARE TOO LOW

Some programs are uploaded as podcasts much too low and you wonder where their sound technicians learned their craft.  There are millions of people with hearing problems even if the programs were uploaded correctly but when they are not as CBS is doing on podcasts, you can find a solution like I did . Sadly this would not be necessary if podcasts were broadcast at a  higher level and if too lound you can always turn them down right?

Basically you get a cheap amp that has a sound input and get a proper cord from your headphone jack on your phone to the amp and then turn the program on and then up the sound level to your needs after you connect your external speakers. Some even come with remote control.
