Podcast Audio Enhancement Needed

I have a recorded podcast episode that still sounds raw and uneven. I need an experienced audio specialist to take it from its current state to a polished, listener-ready release. I’m open to whatever combination of editing, mixing, sound design, and mastering you judge necessary—my goal is simply a clean, balanced, professional sound that’s consistent from start to finish.

I haven’t committed to a final delivery format yet, so feel free to recommend whether MP3, WAV, or even AAC will best preserve quality while keeping the file manageable for hosting platforms.

Deliverables I’d like back:
• A fully processed, broadcast-quality stereo file
• Any project or stem files you create (so I can revisit changes later)
• A brief summary of the steps you took and any settings worth noting

Please let me know your typical turnaround time and the DAW or plugin chain you prefer to work with so I can align expectations on revisions and final approval. I’m looking forward to hearing how you can elevate the episode.
