Frequently Asked Questions

To get started, I’ll need the raw audio or video files, a brief outline of the episode, any relevant music or branding assets, and a clear deadline. If there are specific sections you’d like tightened or removed, just flag them - otherwise I’ll use my editorial judgement to shape the episode.

I work with WAV and high-quality MP3 files, as well as recordings from platforms such as Riverside, Zoom and SquadCast. Multi-track files are ideal, but I can also work with mixed recordings where necessary.

If you’re unsure, feel free to ask before recording.

Turnaround depends on length and complexity, but most standard episodes are delivered within 48–72 hours. Tighter deadlines can often be accommodated with advance notice.

Clear timelines are agreed before work begins.

Additional revisions can be accommodated where needed, but the goal is always to deliver an episode that feels finished and ready the first time.

In most cases, yes - clarity can be significantly improved through careful clean-up and levelling. However, the quality of the original recording will always influence the final result.

If you’re unsure about your setup, I’m happy to advise before you record.
