I like it a lot.
But the intro/outro/bumpers... I think you could just say "Ok, and now in today's news"
Also I find the editing a bit unsettling.
Are you editing between sentences, or are you all just talking very very fast?
Anyhow, those are very minor issues.
Waiting for today's episode!
I don't like listening to audio where normal speech pauses have been removed, just to shave one or two seconds off at each point.
It's ok to remove excessive um's, ahhs, coughs etc and redundant sentences, that's polished professional editing, but closing up normal speech gaps makes it sound plastic and stilted. It's like kind of GM genetically modified audio or something. They're messing with the food in the 21st century. Please don't mess with the audio as well.
You might as well speed it up and have the interviewer and interviewee talk like chipmunks, that would enable even more to be crammed into the available space.
If you want to save space, cut down the intro and remove the shouting/screeching bumpers as well. They jar on the nerves!
Space saving has never been the problem, the reason why sometimes the audio sounds clipped is because some hosts use quite a lot of "filler" speech. I generically refer to this as the "umms and ahhs" but it's actually quite a bit more, and it's not only a lot of time but it adds nothing to the listener experience. When there is no gap between filler and content as is often the case, I err on the side of slightly clipping rather than allowing a little bit of the prior word.
But all that aside, the editing should get less frequent and better moving to a non-daily. Update coming today, show returns beginning of the week.
Was episode 6 cancelled? I believed it was already recorded.
It is, half the content was requested pulled by the interview subject after he got cold feet, the other half requires editing but could be released.
