Thank you so much for leaving feedback! <3 I'm glad you liked it. It's good to learn that my recordings are a bit quiet - I'll try to make sure I make the next one louder.

The bit where it sounded like the sentence was cut off was actually just the phrasing of the original sentence, but I'm glad you mentioned it - it'll help me refine my reading style for future podfics! :)

As for the file size, I read in some of the podficcing tutorials linked from here (http://audiofic.jinjurly.com/creating-and-submitting-podfic-recordings) that if you adjust the bit rate that your audio recording software exports mp3s with to be lower than the default setting, you can maintain a perfectly decent sound quality for a smaller file size (I use Audacity, and set my bit rate to 48). Hope that helps!
