Today's question is from Angie...
Q: Is it ok to edit an interview down?
The short answer? Absolutely.
In fact, there's nothing that should be going out to your audience without editing.
Cutting down an interview isn't about manipulating what your guest is saying, or not respecting the time they gave you.
It's about ensuring the content that makes it's way to your audience is the absolute best it can be.

In today's episode I'm answering this question from Amy: "I really want to start my podcast this year, but I've heard you talk a lot about the fact that a lot of podcasts don't make it. How do I make sure mine does?"
This question is all about the concept of podfade, where a podcast fades into oblivion after around about seven to ten episodes (sometimes less).
This happens for a bunch of reasons including people being disappointed their audience isn't bigger, not having enough ideas to keep the show running long term or (the most common) realising it's actually a LOT OF WORK to keep a podcast going.
So, in this episode I share my top tips for making sure your podcast survives.
