I figured we'd start a podcasting tips thread, and everyone can add a tip from something they've learned to it. That way it could end up being quite a little encyclopedia.

Tip #1

Clean up your interview audio!


That person gave you their time presumably for free, so unless your antagonistic to interviewees as your program format do them a favor back and make them sound good!

Go through the audio and cut out extra ummms and and so's and so forth to give them the cleanest dialogue as possible. If they flub something and correct it, try to delete the flub (if possible) so they just say the correct thing (sometimes this won't work, you will have to judge what sounds right.)

Seperate pregnant pauses from dramatic pauses, and cut pauses down to manageable length. I cut a 26 minute interview down to 23 minutes so far, and I'm only about halfway done. It will make the people you interview happy and it will make a more listenable program for your listeners!


So who's next!
