Podcast Tip Of The Day1️⃣ Record Separate Tracks: Always capture each speaker on their own channel (via "double-ender" or multi-track software). This saves hours of editing and lets you tweak volume/noise for each voice individually. 2️⃣ Silence Is Golden: Mute your mic when others speak! Nods and "mm-hmm"s work in person, but they’re editing nightmares. Less cross-talk = smoother post-production. ✨ Bonus: Use push-to-talk (or a mute pedal) if muting feels awkward mid-convo. |  |
A Final Note
“Growth hides in the episodes you resist making.”
