For long-form podcasts, do you prefer when pauses and filler words (um, like, etc) are edited out, or do you prefer the conversation completely unedited?
Currently on nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 I leave the conversations completely unedited, but I’m curious what people prefer.

I guess it depends how much time can be saved?
Pauses have something to say.
Pause on the pause censorship.
Amen to that. I don’t edit at all.
Unedited, so we can assume instant, unhealthy and harsh judgements about peoples intellect.
Umm, I prefer it natural. Seems like a lot of work to manually cut all those humanisms. Can you do it with AI?
I can do it with AI—it’s built into Riverside—but I prefer to leave the interviews unedited.
Unedited. Give me that raw pod.
nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 will continue to be raw AF
Leave the pauses in, if anything only edit out awkward mouth noises and replace with room tone.
Other mixing considerations:
- De-ess both guests. Nothing will make me turn off a podcast faster than harsh sybilance
- Match overall loudness of both host and guest using EQ/compression.
- Consider editing out or automating background noise with gates.
Be careful with gates, you can hear the popping. I don't listen to No Agenda anymore because of it.

Unedited, please 😁
Unedited. Psychologically thes little ums, ands, pauses, etc let other humans know you are infact human, not ai.
Amen to that. nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 will continue to be unedited.
I prefer it to be be unedited. I listen at 1.5-2x speed (depending on the speaker) so I barely notice pauses anyway.
I prefer unedited, too. I think you lose the natural feel when you remove all the “filler”. The filler is human.

I love conversations unedited, it is boring a times when it is edited and some intensions of the writer might be removed
completely unedited for me
On principle I like to think I prefer the unedited rips, but I don’t necessarily know which ones have been edited, so it’s hard to say.
For example, nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 recently mentioned that the reason Bitcoin.review episode are only 3 hours long is because he needs to edit out the “ums”. Maybe if he didn’t, I could actually get some shuteye during those snooze fests, but for now I guess I’ll continue to be manipulated into paying attention 🤷♂️
For Titcoin: don’t change a thing.
😂😂😂
100% unedited. Need to feel genuinely authentic. Edited recordings will feel edited and loose the truthful nature. If you really can't stand a few um's & such you've got some issues!
Do not filter the conversations, please.
Unedited but people need to get better at speaking with pace and confidence
Unedited. I listen 1.5 speed at least. Maybe a filter that reduces long silences by certain percentage. Always make sure volumes are equal.
Equal volumes is so much more important than some umms! It’s really and almost dangerous when driving when I am constantly fiddling with the volume to listen to a podcast.
and yet so many podcasters start buying high end mics before they get this right, luckily it has improved over the years...
Disclose if edited. “adapted for continuity and flow”.
That said, long form like your show I am happy to have the filler words. Fillers indicate the passion and/or comfort of the speaker(s).
Unedited conversations please Walker.
I think we need to fix our filler language when we speak more than we need to fix it in post. my next documentary is actually about this 😅

Unfiltered. Most clients can skip the dead air as an option. So don't mess with the source!
Unedited for sure
unedited 🤙🏽
Great question, and very informative that 95% answers that they prefer unedited podcasts
unedited proves a lot....Edited AI stuff🤔🤔
Unedited for sure, all the rest is crap
Unedited
Completely unedited. Raw is the best. Pauses and ums, conveys the personality. Keep them please.
