> > I don't think it's actually the case > Do you mean the editing process isn't what's making me want to stop the show? No this is just confusing language on my part. What I meant was that I don't actually think those are your list of priorities in order, but that is how they could be extrapolated based on which part has to give. OK so after your description of your workflow I think I was reading too much into where you were at specifically with regards to the content clean-up. I was worried that you were hovering over every sentence trying to optimize it and was just trying to talk you down off the ledge. :) For some reason I tend to gravitate towards jobs where I'm at my best when nobody knows I did anything at all. Editing is probably one of the best examples of this and, as a result, it's hard for anyone that hasn't done it to truly appreciate how much work there is behind it. (Some of this is selfishly motivated btw, I've been following your podcast since the spring and don't want it to go offline lol. If i have to listen to some CTO's lips smack every time he gets ready to talk I'll allow it. :) ) |

Yes, this is perfectly said. It's exactly how I feel and what I strive for. I think most folks would be surprised if they listened to a before / after even if all that was done was occasionally remove filler content and mouth noises. It's like that one business analogy iceberg picture with "success" being the 10% that's above water and the other 90% is buried with all sorts of things you never hear about.

That really means a lot and I'm happy to hear you like the show but unless a big pile of money falls from the sky to afford hiring a dedicated editor and human reviewed transcripts then I have to pull the plug. I've already been feeling this way for 3-4 months but tried to power through it. I've reached the point of feeling resentment and disgust just thinking about opening my editing tool of choice and it's taking its toll. It sucks because I would love to record the show until the day I die but these are the cards I'm dealt and I have to choose sanity over suffering at this point.
There's no middle ground due to the last half of my previous reply.
