The emotional art of podcast editing with Matthew Bliss
When you’re listening to a podcast episode, do you notice the technical aspects of the edit?
If you said yes, I’m going to bet you’re either a very avid podcast listener, or you’re an editor yourself.
The truth of it is that most listeners don’t notice the editing on a podcast (unless it’s particularly bad).
The listener doesn’t hear the original raw audio. They haven’t seen the hours it has taken to craft a conversation into a compelling story, or the subtle use of silence to heighten emotions at key points.
What they hear is a polished episode that (hopefully) is a pleasure to listen to.
And the podcast editor has therefore done their job.
Our role is to make the edit so seamless that the listener accepts that it was recorded that way to begin with.
But the editor knows better.
The editor has shaped the story, got to know the host and/or the guest on a granular level down to every vocal tic and they’re invested.
I recently spoke to Matthew Bliss at MB Podcast Services about the role of the podcast editor and I’d be thrilled if you checked it out.
