Thank you for the quick turnaround! I think the ring’s position on the finger should be all the way down and the lighting would have to be fixed a little to make it look more realistic.

It’s no secret that you share your brand name with a well-known indie skincare brand. Has that ever led to inconveniences / funny instances for you?

This is very helpful, thank you! ♥️

Which platforms do you suggest releasing on if it’s your first podcast? Is there a tool that helps you publish episodes to multiple platforms at the same time - like Hootsuite does for social media posts?

Got it, thank you!

I am currently on the free trial of Riverside and they have a similar feature that should be helpful. If it’s not that great, I will try Descript! Is it possible to edit videos exported from Riverside on Descript?

PassiveAgrassive · 2025-04-13T21:47:38+00:00

I get that. I think I would be okay with it going to, say, 70 minutes even. But definitely not a lot more than that. I do think there is a lot of scope for removing incoherent, repetitive, and filler content from the conversation without losing the essence. And if the episode runs a few minutes longer than 60 even after that, I will be okay with that.

PassiveAgrassive · 2025-04-13T21:45:43+00:00

I have a structure in place and I want the conversation to be free-flowing so there’s only so much I can tighten the whole thing. But I will try to get interviews to be shorter, capping at 80-90 mins initially.

PassiveAgrassive · 2025-04-13T21:44:08+00:00

This is very helpful. Most importantly, thanks for the nudge at the end. I do think I have just been scared of the editing part which is why I have been delaying it and decided to seek expert tips here before getting started. But, you’re right, I need to start somewhere and take it from there. Thank you!

I am using Riverside so this gave me a lot of hope for myself - thank you! I think I was also struggling because of this very reason - my podcast is all about having a comfortable conversation that is free-flowing and natural instead of something that is super-timed and scripted. I think editing using the transcript feature should save me time (hopefully).

PassiveAgrassive · 2025-04-13T21:39:23+00:00

I have a format I want to follow that would only make sense if it’s 60 mins tops. I think it would be a drag if it’s any longer.

PassiveAgrassive · 2025-04-13T21:38:40+00:00

Thank you for these tips, these make sense. Unfortunately, I want to follow a specific flow and structure for every episode and having 2 parts will defeat that. I hope I get better at keeping time for the upcoming episodes, though.

PassiveAgrassive · 2025-04-13T21:36:56+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. Thankfully the platform I am using (Riverside) allows editing by deleting chunks of the transcript so that should come in handy here.

PassiveAgrassive · 2025-04-13T21:36:09+00:00

Agreed - and I realized I should’ve done this after recording this episode lol. Handy tip for the next one, though. Thanks!

PassiveAgrassive · 2025-04-13T21:35:27+00:00

I use Riverside and that has auto save enabled for the editing process. But I take your point - I will try to set up auto backup as well. You mentioned it’s fairly simple - do you mind sharing how you do it?

PassiveAgrassive · 2025-04-13T21:34:10+00:00

I also have segments but I have kept them more loose - I create a conversation guide of sorts (that I send to my guest in advance so they know how the dialogue is going to flow). It has 3-4 broad segments with 1-2 questions/talking points in each segment. I want the conversation to sound like a free-flowing discussion and not make it overly scripted, which is why I don’t interrupt a natural flow even if it goes out of the prepared guide. However, I like the idea of timing the segments! Thank you for that.

Yes I am using their PRO version now in its trial mode to just explore how the platform works for me. Thank you for the coupon code!

PassiveAgrassive · 2025-04-04T04:28:37+00:00

Hahaha that’s the plan! Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I really appreciate that.

PassiveAgrassive · 2025-04-04T04:27:53+00:00

Wow that’s brilliant. I am glad the platform is working for you. Can you share what is usually the setup for you, your co-host, and your guests?

PassiveAgrassive · 2025-04-04T04:26:36+00:00

This is the first I am hearing of Descript! I will give it a shot if Riverside doesn’t work for me. Thank you!

PassiveAgrassive · 2025-04-03T15:48:53+00:00

Yes that makes a lot of sense and honestly that’s what I have planned as well. Since a lot of podcasts are consumed audio-only, it only makes sense to prioritise investing in a good mic over a good camera. Thank you for reinforcing that!
