This brings up a point that has long puzzled me: why is it so uncommon for podcasters to write out what they intend to say? It seems like it would eliminate a lot of the misspeech, circumlocution, and unclearness that make podcasts so frustrating to listen to for me. It would also eliminate the need for transcription after the fact.
- bpicolo 8y agoA lot of podcasts are adhoc conversations between multiple people
- ghaff 8y agoThat might make sense for one person basically reading a script. (Which, with a few exceptions, aren't a very good format.) But most podcasts are interviews/conversations. You're not going to get most podcast guests to write out full responses in advance. I do usually review topics and some potential questions for a few minutes with my guest before we get started and do editing if a question or answer goes off the rails or there's an error. I also do some light editing to cut down on umms, you knows, etc. But a lot of casual podcasts created as sidelines wouldn't make sense if they were going to take a week to put together.
