Who am I?
Jordan Orme is a video editor that has worked with Justin Bieber, Post Malone, Nike, Amazon Prime, and many more. Hayden Hillier-Smith is a leader in online video editing with a client list that includes household names like Logan Paul and MrBeast. Together they are The Editing Podcast: a podcast for video editors by video editors…because editing is in our lives more than ever. Whether it's the latest social media star or a literal Oscar winner, Jordan and Hayden interview the editors whose timelines have changed the world. We chose this topic since hosting this show makes us feel like we are back in film school. We wanted to relive that feeling with our listeners by showing you the best educational podcasts for film professionals.
My Show
What is my podcast about and/or how does it relate to the playlist topic you chose?
As a podcast about editing, obviously we gravitate towards other podcasts about editing. These are some of the best of the best and they inspire us to be better filmmakers each day.
What is my podcast playlist about?
Ah yes, film school. Memories of stumbling through your first short film, taking gratuitous selfies with RED cameras, and the lingering smell of weed in the common room. There are a lot of things that remind us of film school, but perhaps the greatest sensorial feeling was the unbridled joy we all had for learning about film. Seriously, nothing makes you feel more powerful than being 18 and executing a Kuleshov effect for the first time. These podcasts recapture that film school joy. Subscribe to these shows, and your podcasting app ostensibly turns into a MFA film programme. Enjoy!
1. Art of the Cut
Why this podcast?
Steve Hullfish wrote one of our favorite editing books (also called Art of the Cut) and his library of interviews is EXTENSIVE. Seriously, name a film, and there's probably an Art of the Cut interview with the editor. Hullfish has interview chops and a knack for asking the exact question that gets an editor to open up about their edit. A must listen for every editor and aspiring editor!

4. The No Film School Podcast
Why this podcast?
No Film School has been a part of our filmmaking journey since we first picked up a camera and made videos in our living room. A thriving blog, YouTube channel, and podcast, No Film School has a seemingly bottomless pit of resources for both aspiring and working filmmakers. It is hard to pick a favorite interview from their podcast catalogue, but they do have a very thoughtful one with Walter Murch (!!!!) that we have listened to multiple times.

Hi I'm Zack, and the purpose of my work is to help you find meaning and purpose in yours (without burning out...or selling your creative soul).
If you've built your entire career around your creativity like I have, you may be asking the same question I am: Is there a future for us “creatives,” Or is it game over? I can't promise that I know what the future brings, but I do promise few are more dedicated to helping you find the answers than I am.
You're in the right place if:
- You live to create. Your work isn't just a job but an expression of who you are.
- You create to live. Your livelihood depends on your creativity.
- You love making cool shit.
Whether you identify as introverted or neurodivergent (or both, like me)...
No matter if you're a misfit, a rebel, an outlier, or a troublemaker...
If you've been called weird, nerdy, dorky, quirky, or awkward...
Or if you’re an over-thinker, procrastinator, or perfectionist...
You are welcome here. 😊
Come join me as I have honest, authentic, and candid conversations with NYT bestselling authors, Oscar and Emmy winners, experts across many different industries, and ordinary humans achieving extraordinary things.
