Horrible editing makes for breathless mush

“The current tendency to tightly edit podcast conversations to keep them ‘moving along’ is taken to extremes in this particularly irritating offering where the resolutely upbeat presenters (who now sound robotic more than informed) regularly speak over themselves rather than each other — the editor being so keen to remove all the human rhythms of thought leaving a speaker’s ‘laughter’, for instance, still ringing in your ears while she’s already off on another aside, a horribly jarring technique repeated again and again. The fault is less with the presenters (who clearly enjoy the gig and each others’ company, a necessary first step to an engaging atmosphere) than with an editor who either can’t understand or just doesn’t care about what they’re saying; but the result is sonic torture and best avoided.
A tad harsh? Maybe. But silence matters, folks. Pauses allow the brain to process, the architecture of feeling and thought to be appreciated. Only those with nothing to say fill it at every opportunity.
Fire your editor. Take a breath now and then. Who wants to listen to intelligent discussion reduced to an episode of the chipmunks?”

“Listening to this podcast makes my runs go by very quickly. It’s so engaging that all I’m thinking about is Greg and Maren’s researched topic. I highly recommend this podcast!”
