If you’re new to podcasting, editing out the “CRAPP” (Crutches, Repeats, Accidents, Pregnant Pauses & Pacing) can feel like one of the most intimidating parts of the process.
Should you keep the small talk? How much silence is too much? What about filler words like “um” and “uh”?
Keeping your listeners engaged all comes down to how well you edit your episodes.
Join RSS.com’s Head of Relationships, Greg Wasserman, and pro podcast editor Steve Stewart for a free YouTube Live session where we’ll share a simple, effective approach to editing your show.
You’ll learn how to cut out distractions, smooth your audio, and keep your episodes sounding sharp while still letting your personality shine.
We’ll cover all the “CRAPP” that can drag down an episode:
- Crutches – filler words that reduce clarity
- Repeats – unintentional repetition of ideas or phrases
- Accidents – mistakes, background noise, or unexpected interruptions
- Pregnant Pauses – long gaps or silences that break momentum
- Pacing – sections that feel too slow or meandering
You’ll also get an introduction to two beginner-friendly editing tools:
- Descript, which lets you edit your audio and video like a text document
- Audacity, a free and powerful audio editor used by podcasters worldwide
