Podcast Editing

Springfield Rd, Blackpool FY1 1QW, UK

Teave

Once you have your recording, it’s time to edit the file to create your final show. 
﻿
Your final product should run smoothly, and conversation should flow. Removing ‘dead air’ (sustained periods of silence) from the recording keeps your listener engaged. 
﻿
Through the editing process, you can also remove any parts of the recording that you don’t want to make the final cut, this could include bad language, or something said in error. As you record a podcast, the conversation should come naturally, although this can be dependent on the theme, audience and topic of your podcast there might be times when you drift off topic or say something you’d rather not have out in the public domain. 
﻿
This activity will walk you through some of the processes involved in editing.

Transcript 1
Host: Can you tell us about a time that you came up against an opposition to your protests? 
Guest: Well, there was one man who was persistently at the protest camp trying to counter our efforts. He was an ex-policeman, Gary Sharples. He lived nearby and Gary didn’t think that there was any problem in digging for shale gas. 
Host: How interesting!
