Podcast Audio Editor & Post-Production Producer | Editorial Editing +

For the past three years, I’ve handled weekly audio post-production for The Good Fight with Yascha Mounk, taking episodes from raw recordings through finished, scheduled publication. My work goes beyond basic cleanup. I make editorial cuts, tighten conversations for clarity and pacing, remove filler words, false starts and mistakes, clean and level dialogue, integrate music and recurring show elements, prepare final audio and metadata, and publish completed episodes through Megaphone on a weekly production schedule. I also edit and help produce Understanding IP Matters, where I have a broader role in shaping the finished program. In addition to dialogue editing, cleanup, pacing, leveling and final delivery, I’m more involved in music selection and placement and the overall production of the show. Completed episodes are prepared and published through Buzzsprout. My long-form spoken-word work also includes editing the audiobook edition of Picks and Shovels by Cory Doctorow. That project required detailed transcript-based editing, careful cleanup of long-form narration, identifying mistakes and inconsistencies against the text, maintaining continuity across extended recordings, and producing natural, polished spoken-word audio. I specialize in podcasts and other spoken-word projects where the editor needs both a good technical ear and editorial judgment. What I handle Editorial podcast editing Cutting or restructuring sections for clarity and pacing Removing ums, filler words, false starts, repetitions and mistakes Natural dialogue tightening without making conversations sound over-edited Noise reduction and general audio cleanup Dialogue leveling and consistency EQ, compression and spoken-word processing Music selection and placement Intros, outros and recurring show elements Final mix and export Metadata preparation Megaphone publishing and scheduling Buzzsprout publishing and scheduling Transcript- and manuscript-based editing Long-form spoken-word and audiobook editing Ongoing weekly podcast production I’m particularly interested in recurring podcast relationships where I can learn the voice and rhythm of a show and become a dependable part of the production process. If you’re looking for someone who can take responsibility for the actual podcast—not just run a noise-reduction plugin—I’m a strong fit. I’m focused on audio post-production and publishing, rather than video editing, social-media clipping or short-form content production.
