Automatic Gain Control in Python?

This has to be done on-the-fly before it is recorded. 
After the AGC is applied, it will be played, live, to the community.
It is played during the week to a much smaller audience, almost as
background noise.
Post recording editing would be a waste of time and worthless.

Two files, 24 hours each, one for Saturday, the other Sunday

Why would post-record editing be "horrendous"?

Does it record the whole 48 hours into 1 file?

If it's recording each podcast separately, it could process each one after
recording it, even while the next one is being recorded, and I really doubt
that processing each one while take long.
