If you're a regular listener to the show, you'll know how often I talk about the listener experience and why good audio is key to making that experience the best it can be. While there are a lot of tools to help with that, here are my top three options to use no matter what editing software you have. Number one, EQ or equalization. This lets you adjust the frequencies of the audio.

While there are a lot of tools to help with that, here are my top three options to use no matter what editing software you have. Number one, EQ or equalization. This lets you adjust the frequencies of the audio.

So, for example, if you want to lower or increase deeper sounds like bass, or you want to emphasize higher frequencies like treble or mid-range based on a speaker's voice, Number two, compression. And this helps move the overall levels of your audio, which makes it a lot easier and more comfortable to listen to. And number three is normalisation.

Podcasting has a setting called LUFS, L-U-F-S, and that's the default loudness for the majority of the industry in podcast apps to help all audio stay at the same volume. The defaults are minus 19 LUFS for mono audio and minus 16 LUFS for stereo. And I've spoken before about LUFS and why it's important in episode 92, so I'll leave a link to that in the show notes so you can check it out.

While there are other options you can use, de-esser for example, if you have a more sibilant tone to your voice, these are my three go-to options I use on every edit to ensure a consistent and hopefully enjoyable listening experience. Until the next time, happy podcasting. Thanks for listening.

When it comes to growing your podcast, making it easy to follow is one of the best ways to do that, which is why in episode 17, I shared some options that are available for that. However, that's just for the podcast. But another way is to use a custom bio link.

So for your social media profiles, instead of just having one link that goes to your podcast website or maybe Apple or Spotify, a custom bio link allows you to not only share your podcast, but certain episodes, a newsletter and more. And depending on what bio link software you use, you can even embed episodes and videos.

Again, making it super easy for listeners to check out your show before following it. And the good thing is there's a few options out there so you can choose the one that's best for you. There's Linktree, there's BioLink, there's a new one I'm checking out at the moment called PodBio, and others, and I'll be sure to leave links in the show notes for you to check them out.
