Podcast editing handbook
A good episode is made twice, once at the microphone and once in the edit. This handbook, written alongside the team at Pro Podcast Editing, walks through what happens between the raw file and the published show.
The four stages
Post-production usually runs in order: cleanup of noise and clicks, content editing, mixing of voices and music, then mastering to the loudness that podcast apps expect.
Do it yourself or outsource
Editing your own show teaches you a lot, but it often takes three to four times the episode length. A professional podcast editing service gives those hours back.
Getting started
If you are comparing options, send a single episode and judge the result. You can request a free podcast editing quote before committing to a schedule.
