The 007.1 in the number means that this is a different version. The first version was with a different sound setting. I'm still testing how the production is working, and probably I will just need to wait a few days and listen to my podcast in earphones while I'm washing dishes. If you have any thoughts about the topic, which version is better with whatever equipment you're listening with, let me know. Thank you.
