When we shifted from a sporadic side project to a consistent show, my first priority was learning how to edit. Because we record during live manicures, our setup is... challenging. Between “sound bleed” from sitting close together and the background noise—filing, beeping, clinking—we basically picked the worst environment for beginner podcasters.
During a mini-sabbatical from work, Harper was laser-focused on improving our audio. But none of the podcasting advice out there addressed our kind of sound setup or issues. Then she found Rue.
Harper upgraded our gear, learned Audacity, and got brave enough to add guests (and even more audio chaos). But none of it would’ve worked without Rue. When Harper returned to work, she realized she couldn’t keep up with editing, so she asked Rue to take over. Since Season 4, Rue’s been our primary editor. Harper still does final tweaks, but Rue’s the magician behind the mix.
In this episode, we’re bringing Rue into the studio—virtually—so you can meet the third member of our Salon Confessions team. She’s a joy, a pro, and an incredible woman. We are quite the Motley Confessional Crew—and now you’ll hear why.
