Saving a bad podcast interview - part 2

What podcast interviewer has not experienced that heart sinking moment when you realise a podcast interview is disappointing?

But there are post-recording tricks you can play to save the day.

Software programmes like Descript can be helpful by removing all the ums and ers for you or allowing you to visualise the parts that can be cut thanks to the side-by-side layout of the transcript with the audio.

If your own interviewer performance is to blame, you can always simply remove your live questioning input and replace it with voiceover links.

But my advice is only go to these lengths if you think there is real value in the interview  worth saving. Sometimes, a bad one just has to hit the cutting room floor.

About me
Hello, I'm Serena Gay, a BBC-trained journalist and a former international satellite TV presenter.

I have many years of news and audio production experience which I now use to great effect as CEO of a podcast making company called "Made4U Podcasts".

I've  also helped run family businesses in the UK and Germany in the tourism and wine education fields.

So I understand the pressures on businesspeople to perform, promote and reach new and profitable streams of clients.

That's why these podcasts are short, pithy and full of information - not blather!
