Well, there is sensible compression and there is ridiculously high
compression, and badly set up compression, Is talk sport listening?]

Radio 1 and many other pop orientated stations use a form of compression
that almost seems to end up with a straight line of level.
R2 do this sometimes and at others seem to use a kind of gain riding system
that gradually winds the level up akin to a cheap recorder.
