How Much Editing Should I Do?

Quick Daily Podcasting Tips by Alitu

Welcome to Pocket-Sized Podcasting, brought to you by Alitu: The Podcast Maker. And on this episode, we’re asking the question “how much editing should I do?”. As is often the case in podcasting, the answer is “it depends”. As we’ve covered before, there are loads of different types of podcast. So a one-minute scripted solo show is going to need a lot less editing than a two-hour documentary-style epic. Unless you enjoy editing - and most podcasters don’t - then you just need to do enough to make your show sound good. And then, leave it at that. Two big keys to podcasting success are consistency and sustainability. So if you find yourself spending a tonne of time bogged down in your editing software, chances are, you’re not going to enjoy it. It won’t be long before you convince yourself there are better things to be doing. So, how do you strike that balance between “enough” and “not too much”?
