How long does it take you to edit your podcast? Do you spend hours cutting every filler word, placing transitions, or do you take a more relaxed approach? Editing isn’t one-size-fits-all when it comes to podcasting, and today we’re here to share how we each approach post-production. We compare notes on the tools in our arsenals, the techniques we’ve learned to be more efficient, and the different workflows for audio and video podcasts. Editing your podcast doesn’t have to be a mind-numbing experience. With consistent practice, familiarity with your tools, and a sense of how to guide a conversation, you can build a process that adds polish to your show and enhances the listener’s experience, leading to a deeper connection with your topics.
