Jen Amos provides commentary on the process of launching the Season 7 of her podcast show. She discusses the work that goes into revamping and rebranding the show after parting ways with her co-host. This includes scheduling and preparing for 19 interviews over the summer.
When she sends the interview files to her editor, she is disappointed to find out her own audio quality is bad. She explores options like reenacting or narrating her parts to fix it. Ultimately, she decides the show must go on, and she will build as she goes, editing and repurposing the content.
Jen shares this experience in the new podcast portal to provide context to listeners about the challenges of podcasting. Her hope is that openly sharing her mistakes and journey helps others start or improve their own endeavors. Overall, this special commentary gives an early insight into how she handles issues like bad audio quality.
