Looking for podcast editor for your business? We guarantee your podcast will be back in your inbox within 48 hours.
We deliberately avoid saying “two business days” because we work straight through weekends and evenings. You started creating a podcast because you’re passionate about sharing stories, explaining concepts, and of course, entertaining your audience. However, editing the entire episode can be a tedious task for a podcaster—listening to yourself repeatedly (which some people don’t mind at all!) and having to review the conversation multiple times. This process can gradually turn your excitement into something you dread. Fill out the form below and one of our editors will be on the phone with you today. Right below the form we’ll show you how our podcast editors hone their craft.

Looking for podcast editor consultation
While some companies prefer to keep everything in-house and do not seek feedback, others value collaborative input. When clients appreciate our guidance, we offer consultation on various aspects of their podcast.
Every day, podcasters approach us for consultation on shaping their podcasts, and we’re happy to provide it. With extensive experience using all types of equipment and software, we know what’s needed for your specific situation. Feel free to reach out to us, even if you’re not working with us directly. We’re committed to ensuring that all podcasts sound great, not just those we have a direct stake in.
Especially in the early stages of a new podcast, finding the right format can be challenging. There are countless podcast formats to choose from, but they must fit the podcast’s content. We’re eager to help with design and structure to get the most out of your podcast. Plus, we can provide musical support to give your podcast the perfect ambiance.
Once the first podcast episode is published, our job is just beginning. If your goal is to reach a larger audience, your podcast will need continual refinement to achieve “perfection.” If you’re searching for a podcast editor, you’re likely ready to take this step. To compete with major podcasts, you’ll need to continually improve conversation styles, content, and guests. Your company and its guests are the stars of the podcast, and if we can contribute our ideas, we’re available for the entire creative process. All to ensure you achieve the very best end result.
Cutting up the audio of the file
Now that you’ve found and selected your podcast editor, we can start our collaboration after an initial introduction. Before diving into the editing, I listen to the entire podcast from start to finish. This may seem like an extra step, but you’d be surprised how crucial it is to get a clear view of the overall picture first.
Workflow roadmap
-
- With a notepad by my side, I jot down notable elements—both the good and the not-so-good.
-
- Next, I review the audio file, removing long silences, balancing out the volume differences and cutting out the irrelevant moments, such as when guests take a drink or use the restroom.
-
- As the audio plays, I pay close attention to the rhythm of the speaker. Some podcast guests are natural speakers, while others might struggle a bit. With permission, I aim to remove “non-essential” content, such as long pauses, stammering, or repetitive phrases.
-
- In other cases, I strive to preserve the podcast’s natural rhythm as much as possible during editing, especially when guests are already smooth and articulate speakers. I can assure you, achieving this is far more challenging than it appears at first glance.
Bring the voices to the forefront and analyze background noise
The steps involved in this process are primarily labor-intensive and leave little room for creativity. Once you’ve found and selected a podcast editor, you can easily outsource this work. This phase shares some similarities with cooking: think of it as the earlier steps in the kitchen, such as chopping up vegetables and seasoning the meat before roasting them for a tasteful dish. Bringing the voices to the forefront and eliminating background noise is like reaching for the spice rack, adding a variety of flavors. The most commonly used “flavors” in audio mixing are as follows:
-
- Equalizer (improve clarity, balance, and overall sound quality)
- Compression (reduce the dynamic differences)
- Saturation (enrich the sound by introducing subtle harmonic distortion)
- Noise Reduction (remove distractions to enhance the overall listening experience)
- Speech Volume Leveler (ensure that speech is clear and consistent throughout the recording)
We use all these flavors to enhance each podcast, as every podcast has unique needs. For instance, if a speaker has a somewhat harsh voice, we make use of a de-esser to tame excessive sibilance—harsh, hissing sounds produced by consonants such as “s” and “sh” in speech and vocals—making the audio smoother and more pleasant to listen to.
Looking for Podcast editor on location
When a podcast needs to be produced on location, we always arrive with the best equipment available. Maintaining top-notch audio quality is crucial, especially in different environments. We start by optimizing the acoustics if needed—for example, if recording in a church, we’ll choose a spot with minimal echo. Sometimes the acoustics are poor, and relocating the podcast studio isn’t an option. In such cases, we come prepared with reflective or absorptive materials to shape the sound and ensure the podcast sounds just right.
Just having a casual chat
We value personal connections. We love chatting with our clients and new podcast enthusiasts, whether it’s by phone, WhatsApp, or email. Every podcast we shape is unique, and so is every company we work with—that’s what keeps our work exciting. We’re eager to hear your ideas, whether they’re out-of-the-box, unconventional, or even a little crazy. The podcast industry needs more creativity. Even if you haven’t decided whether to use a podcast editor for your production, let’s have a no-strings-attached brainstorming session about your ideas.
