Hey there, welcome back! We're diving deep into the nitty-gritty of our podcast editing businesses today.
As you know, it's not all about slicing and dicing audio - there's a lot of business sense and a bit of madness that comes into play. Join me as I guide you through our latest shenanigans and strategies for navigating the ever-changing world of podcast editing.
Today, we have updates on adjusting our processes, pricing, and tools to keep up with growing demands. Jennifer will explain how she occasionally transfers shows to someone else when she's not in the mood to edit, and why she's considering increasing my prices. Spoiler alert: it's not just for kicks!
We will also discuss how Daniel is improving his client interactions using tech tools, and how Bryan is excited about his new software toys and considering making big decisions like hiring employees.
And because we love to keep you on your toes, we'll touch on the more techie side of things, debating the virtues of various AI tools and audio repair gizmos that promise to make our lives easier. From Adobe’s enhancer to the mysterious MacWhisper, we've got the lowdown on what's hot and what's not.

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by!
We're here with a fresh story from the editing trenches. We're shining the spotlight on Patrick Keller, a retired music teacher who’s now orchestrating the world of podcast editing. Imagine going from teaching vocals and piano to slicing and dicing audio waves – that’s Patrick for you!
He started his new career by working on a lot of podcast episodes that still needed editing. He quickly learned a lot, trying out different things like organizing guests and doing live shows. But here's the catch - Patrick mostly taught himself how to edit, relying a lot on plugins that, to be honest, sometimes don't work well.
With tools like RXConnect and Reaper, he now faces the challenges of audio editing without the instant feedback provided by old plugins. And talking about feedback, you won't believe where some of his adjustments originate from - a car test!
Stick with us as we dive deeper with Patrick, exploring everything from audio mishaps to eerie paranormal podcasting. Whether you are an experienced editor or simply curious, there is some valuable advice for you here.
Alright, let’s get rolling!
