This video is part of our "DIY PODCASTER" series, where we teach you how to record and edit your podcast using Descript.

---

In this lesson, I walk you through the process of editing a solo podcast episode, starting with the way that you can use the transcript to actually edit your audio!

I demonstrate how to delete unwanted parts, set the EQ for the episode, and address the nuances of compression for optimal audio quality.

As I dive into the editing process, I share insights on removing distracting noises and refining the content for clarity. I emphasise the significance of story development, ensuring the episode remains engaging and free of dull moments.

Towards the end, I touch upon audio quality and introduce the concept of 'Studio Sound' for challenging audio scenarios. You'll find a lesson on Studio Sound in our BONUS content area.
