In an audio editor, like Audacity (which is open source) you zoom in on the plosive and select everything right up until the voice actually becomes audible. So the fix would be to turn down the volume of your voice when it is hitting the 'P.' Not only that, but most of the too-loud bits are in the low end.the bass frequencies. The plosive was too loud compared to everything around it. Since the plosive problem is basically caused by a rush of air from your lips hitting a microphone capsule fast and hard, what you have is a problem of volume. For some basics on what that means, see my article ' What Is Equalization, Usually Called EQ?' You will need to use an effect called an equalizer, or EQ. For my voice, the come out looking like a capital letter 'N' in the waveform.

I have edited so many p-pops (caused by what linguists call 'plosives') that I can recognize what they LOOK like on a computer screen even before I hear them. One of the wonderful things about audio editing in the computer age is that you get to use your eyes as well as your ears. But when they do get recorded, you'll want to know how to fix it after-the-fact. There are things you can do to minimize or prevent (shya!) them (like a pop filter), which is the best medicine.

It's especially pronounced when using a large diaphragm condenser mic like the one in the pic on the left - a Rode NT2-A. It's what happens when a burst of wind hits a microphone.
