Step-by-Step Guide
Follow along at your own pace. Most people finish in 1-2 hours.
Use Descript (edit audio like a document)
~15 minDescript is magic. It transcribes your audio, and you edit the text to edit the audio. Delete a sentence from the transcript and it removes it from the audio. It also has one-click 'uh' and 'um' removal, filler word detection, and Studio Sound (AI noise removal).
Clean up audio with Adobe Podcast (free)
~20 minAdobe Podcast's 'Enhance Speech' feature is completely free and runs in your browser. Upload your audio and it removes background noise, echo, and levels the volume. One click. The results are shockingly good.
Add intro/outro music
~25 minFind royalty-free music on Uppbeat (free with credit) or Epidemic Sound ($15/mo). Import into Descript or Audacity, place at the beginning and end of your episode, and fade in/out.
Export and host on Spotify for Podcasters
~30 minSpotify for Podcasters (formerly Anchor) is free hosting with distribution to all major platforms (Apple, Spotify, Google). Upload your edited episode, add show notes, publish. They handle RSS, directories, and analytics.
When to hire instead
You're publishing multiple episodes per week and editing is eating your content creation time. Or you need advanced post-production: sound design, multi-track mixing, or broadcast-quality mastering.
No time? Skip to hiringReal talk
Descript changed the podcast editing game forever. Editing audio by editing text is intuitive and fast — even for complete beginners. Adobe Podcast's free noise removal is absurdly good. Unless you're running a daily show and drowning in editing, DIY is the move.
