The way to do this is to first reduce the volume of the loud parts (compression) then turn the whole thing up. There are developer packages out there which do compression with very little overhead - this would be a tremendous feature for some podcasts. Ideally, there would be a variable setting that reduces the compression threshold and increases the gain at the same time, effectively raising the volume of the quiet parts without clipping the loud ones.
