Taking Time Off As a Podcast Editor
If you want to be successful as a podcast editor, you just need to grind it out. All time time. Day and night. When you're sick. When your family needs you. Just keep grinding.

NOOO!
You need to take time off. You need to recharge. You need to have a LIFE.

When Is It Time to Change Your Editing Software?
As podcast editors, we realize that the software we use is important. In fact, it might be the single most important piece of software we own.
But when is it time to consider changing?
When is it worth it to change?
What should we think about when we're considering a change?
If you've been editing podcasts for a while, you've probably considered those questions (and more). Listen to hear from the community - our thoughts, perspectives, frustrations, hangups, and more for the software we usually love and sometimes hate.
Join the conversation to share your thoughts and questions.
