Wondering if editing your podcast makes you sound less “authentic”?
There’s this idea floating around that to be “real” in podcasting, you have to leave in all the ums, awkward pauses, barking dogs, and tangents. But I’m here to tell you, that’s not true.
Editing your podcast doesn’t make you fake. It makes your content easier to follow, more engaging for your listeners, and more supportive for your guests.
In this episode, I’m sharing why editing is actually one of the best ways to respect your audience’s time, support your guests, and make your podcast sound professional (without losing your personality). I break down the benefits of editing, from sounding more polished to making repurposing your content way easier.
Whether you're brand new to podcasting or already hosting a show, you'll walk away with a fresh perspective on editing and maybe even feel a bit excited about it. Trust me, you can still be relaxed, relatable, and real… just with less background noise and a lot more clarity.
