Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Descript. I love this software and use it every time in the podcast recording. This tool has been a game changer in my podcast editing. This tool can’t be used for any audio/video editing with a lot of cool features such as “removing the long gaps“, “removing ums,uhs, and other filler words“, and much more. It costs very less to use and super affordable. I highly recommend it.

Descript is a collaborative audio/video editor that works like a doc. It includes transcription, a screen recorder, publishing, full multitrack editing, and some mind-bendingly useful AI tools. Remote interviews are a fact of life for every podcaster, and in today’s era of social distancing, more so than ever. Since you rarely get the chance at an interview do-over, nailing down your remote recording workflow is essential. We’ll show you how to prepare for and record a remote interview, so you get it right the first time — with some additional tips along the way to make sure all your bases are covered.
