Podcast Editing & Cleanup
Clean, natural, emotionally respectful edits for narrative shows, interviews, and sensitive audio.
Podcast editing is not just about removing mistakes. It is about helping the listener stay connected to the voice, the story, and the emotional tone of the episode. I help clean up distracting noise, smooth rough edits, balance dialogue, and shape audio so it feels clear, natural, and easy to follow.
For podcasts that need more than a quick cleanup
Some episodes need basic polish. Others need careful pacing, sensitivity, music placement, noise reduction, and editorial awareness. I’m especially comfortable with narrative shows, interview-based episodes, true crime, personal stories, and material where tone matters.
Common ways I can help

Noise reduction and cleanup
Plosive, click, mouth noise, harshness, and sibilance control

My approach
The goal is not to make voices sound processed or artificial. The goal is to make the episode easier to understand, more comfortable to hear, and more emotionally effective without distracting from the people inside the story.
Have an episode that feels noisy, rough, overwhelming, or hard to finish? Send a note and I’ll help you figure out the right path.
Sensitive Podcast Work, Handled With Care
Since 2024, I’ve edited, cleaned, scored, mixed, and supported nearly 100 episodes of Invisible Choir, a long-running true crime podcast ranked #4 by Entertainment Weekly on its list of the best true crime podcasts of all time.
The work has shaped the way I approach podcast editing: clarity, restraint, pacing, and respect for the people inside the story. Sensitive audio is never just technical — every edit affects tone, trust, and how the listener receives the material.
