Stop wasting your listeners' time – edit your podcast
<p>Imagine sitting down for a one-to-one call with a client, and spending the first 5 minutes adjusting your webcam, making sure everything looked right, and chatting to someone else in the room.</p><p>If you don’t edit your podcast, that’s what your listeners will expect – a disorganised session where the facilitator wasn’t prepared and kept getting distracted.</p><p>Your listeners want to know what working with you is like. Send the right message, and edit your podcast.</p><p>They’re not expecting a BBC-level production. They don’t want something over-slick and unapproachable. They want to hear the real you… but they also need to get on and do other things.</p><p>If you’ve been struggling to grow your podcast and you haven’t been editing, this is hands-down the biggest reason. You might be attracting new listeners, but they’re not sticking around because the first 10 minutes was taken up with you and your guest talking about the weather.</p><p>Podcast editing is not the tech-fraught challenge it used to be. If you can edit a Google doc, you can edit a podcast, and you might even enjoy the process. Stranger things have happened!</p><p>But if it’s not in your zone of genius, it’s a task you need to delegate, not ignore.</p><p>And remember, all we’re asking is for you to cut out the stuff we don’t need to hear. It doesn’t have to take you longer than half-an-hour, and it’s one of the best ways you can grow your show.</p>

Record each Zoom call participant on a separate track
<p>Find the “Recording” tab of your Zoom settings screen, tick the box labelled “Record a separate audio file of each participant”.</p><p>You’ll still get single video and audio files like you did before, but you’ll also get a separate audio file for each person on the call. This is essential for a podcast editor, because it means they can cut out noises from non-speaking participants.</p><p>Quick example: I edited an episode recently where the host was coughing all the way through the host’s answers. Had I got separate files, I’d have been able to remove the coughing so the guest was audible.</p><p>Same goes for active listening noises (”hmm”, “yeah”, “right” and so on), barking dogs, notification sounds, or anything else that arises from a participant who isn’t currently speaking.</p><p>It also means we can manage the volume between speakers, so we don’t have one person quiet as a mouse while the other one booms in your eardrums.</p><p>If you record podcasts over Zoom, enable this setting today and it’ll make for better audio overnight.</p>

If you need to clear your throat, don't do it mid-sentence
<p>We all need a quick throat-clear from time to time. Or you’ve just got over a cold. Whatever it is, a quick cough is no biggie.</p><p>But we as podcast listeners don’t need to hear it. And if you do it partway through a sentence, a podcast editor has a harder time removing it.</p><p>So just take a moment, clear your throat, then start the sentence again.</p><p>You wouldn’t necessarily think this is something I’d have to bring up… but it happens quite a lot.</p>
