bad microphone, not able to rerecord

I'm afraid that this is the sort of thing that it's just about impossible to do anything with. The speaker was too close to the mic, the mic itself sounds as though it was moving about or brushing on something, and there are plosives. You might be able to fix the plosives a bit (the 'popping' noises) but you'd have to go through them individually and use something like the auto-heal favorite on them - and you'd give up pretty soon, because there are a lot - even just in your sample.

The problem is that essentially, the sound is distorted. And because there's no reference to what it should sound like, there's no means to fix it, and that's a universal problem - no software around can do anything about that. A lot of things can be fixed, but that sort of dynamic distortion, I'm afraid isn't one of them. Do all of the rest of the pannelists sound as bad?
