Editing a podcast can be time consuming and frustrating. A particular challenge is when a podcast guest runs several words into each other and sentences don’t end cleanly. This is part of natural speech patterns but presents a problem when you’re trying to lift ‘clips’ out of a sentence, perhaps to use in an intro sequence. Or where the speaker goes on to talk about a separate topic and you need to ‘cut’ what they were saying at an earlier point.
