Joe Eftihiou – Podcast Audio Pro

Do you want to be able to edit and produce podcast audio that sounds professional and attracts more listeners? Whether you edit for clients or for your own podcast, Podcast Audio Pro will teach you how to how to produce stand-out podcast episodes

The challenge of getting broadcast quality podcast episodes

Let me ask you something – have you found yourself wondering how some podcast editors are able to edit through an episode in just one or two hours, while it can take you double, or more, to get the same result?

Or have you ever found yourself battling with noise and poor audio desperately trying to get the best out of a less-than-ideal recording?

Or perhaps you haven’t quite started your podcast production journey yet, but you’re eager to learn how to produce pro-level episodes so that you can start getting more listeners or more clients.

Discovering the power of podcasting

I spent 5 years studying audio engineering in college and university. After I graduated (with a bunch of student debt!), I took my knowledge to recording studios across the country over the next few years, before being introduced to the world of podcasting.

And boy how I wish I’d discovered podcasting sooner!

Podcasting is an incredible medium for getting your message out into the world and capturing the attention of your ideal audience. It’s also a growing industry, and great quality audio is becoming more and more of a necessity in keeping listeners engaged.

But very few podcasts sound as good as they could do and as a result, struggle to stand out and retain listeners.

I was able to transfer my audio engineering skills and learn more about podcasting through practice and the “YouTube university”, and eventually win clients and create great-sounding podcasts.

I want to save you from the trial and error and the overwhelm with this course.
