Elevating Your Show

Key Topics to Cover:

1. The Art of Editing and Post-Production:
   • Why “local recording” (if you have remote guests) is crucial for quality.
   • Tips for removing filler words (“um,” “uh”) without sounding choppy.
   • Using compression, EQ, and limiting to achieve a consistent, polished audio level (The “Loudness War” for podcasts).
2. Mastering the Interview:
   • Doing thorough guest research and preparing non-obvious questions.
   • The host’s role in guiding the conversation and cutting out irrelevant tangents before recording.
   • Making it easy for your guest to share the episode (pre-made graphics, suggested captions).
3. Structuring for Bingeability:
   • Using season-based formats to create a narrative arc and build anticipation.
   • Creating a strong “hook” in the first 30 seconds to retain new listeners.
