3 Major Reasons to Hire A Professional Podcast Editor Instead of Doing It Yourself

Podcasting has boomed in the last decade as a major source of entertainment, news, and information. In time, though, the ability to record yourself has also blown up. What was once a culmination of time and resources, DIY recording has allowed more and more amateur podcasters to get their voice out there. But is that the best course of action if you want a successful podcast? Here are three reasons you should hire a professional podcast editor instead of trying to rough-it on your own:

Experience to handle audio problems

Over the last 10 years, we have encountered some serious problems with podcast audio. While sometimes an art, the editing of this audio is also a science to be taken seriously. Dealing with zoom audio, iPhone audio, or professional studio audio, podcast editors know the best course of action when dealing with different mediums of recording, especially during a global pandemic when phone and Zoom calls are the new normal.

Take the burden off yourself

If you’re running an area of the business, do you really want the pressure of adding another task to your plate? The pressure of recording, producing, and releasing an entire show will only add more stress. We’ll work hard for you to make you look good in front of your boss. You make good money running your business, pay us to do what we do best. 

Make critical decisions & partners

A good podcast editor also helps with making critical decisions. It’s nice having someone you can lean on for thoughts and advice. You’re actively interacting with someone who consistently listens to and edits podcasts, so you’ll get good feedback on what does and doesn’t work, what could be improved on, and what could enhance your show overall.

Podcasts can seem simple-- record, talk, and publish. In actuality, it’s an entire process of refining your content into a digestible, captivating show that engages listeners. When you’re thinking about doing a podcast, think about Blue Sky Podcasting and the level of professionalism that can accompany your show.
