Shownotes

You think the hard part of podcasting is recording it. It isn't. It's everything you do afterwards, the endless fiddling and polishing, and that's the thing keeping your show stuck in your drafts.

In this episode I want you to stop. Yes, your audio needs to sound professional, nobody's arguing with that. But there's a point where all that polishing stops making your episode better and starts making it worse, because perfect sounds like nobody.

I get into why the little imperfections are the exact thing that make people trust you, why you're the worst possible judge of your own episode, and the simple rule that'll stop you editing forever. Plus a word I've coined for exactly what you're doing when you won't press publish.

It's five minutes, and there's one honest question I want you to ask about that episode you've been sitting on.
