Why I don’t edit my podcasts. It’s not entirely sloth, or obsessive need for closure

Written and spoken by Tudor Rickards

20 October, 2024

I have friends who are far more tech-savvy than I am. One asked me directly recently why I didn’t remove the various audio blubs or whatever they are called from my podcasts.
The others probably remain silent to stop further discussion of podcasting (a subject banned from our coffee meetings,, along with philosophy, Manchester United, and reminiscences of work practices in the 1960s when we were all gainfully employed.)
My justification, otherwise known as special pleading, goes as follows: 
I am an amateur podcaster just like the vast majority of practitioners. I leave it to my highly satisfactory site buzzsprout to do a certain amount of magic as they call it in marketing terms to remove the most gross extraneous noises in my work. That leaves the occasional lengthy pause while I recall my next sentence. Incidentally, this is true even if I am working from a reasonable script in front of me.
