Please report it here: https://support.google.com/mail/conta... A full Riverside tutorial showing exactly how I edit podcast episodes from start to finish. The workflow is simple: Prep, Polish, Publish. Remove the big chunks you don't need, tighten everything up with music and audio leveling, then export with captions and show notes. Same process I've used on shows like Where Should We Begin and what I teach in the Emerging Voices Accelerator. One tip that'll save you hours: spend 80% of your editing energy on the first 20% of your episode. Those first three minutes decide whether someone stays or scrolls. 🙋🏾‍♀️ Who am I? Hey, I'm Hiwote, but my friends call me Hiwi! 👋🏾 I'm a podcast producer, and I've worked on shows like Where Should We Begin? with Esther Perel, This is Dating (featured in TIME Magazine as one of the best podcasts of 2022), and projects with The New York Times, TED, and more. My goal? To help aspiring podcasters gain the creative clarity and confidence they need to create shows that are as unique as they are. –––– Ready to start? ✅ Subscribe for weekly tips on how to create and grow a podcast that feels like you. 📥 Grab the free 10-step guide: https://tenstepstolaunch.depthandcand...
