From Raw Talk to Brand Narrative
In this episode of Showmakers, Ed Barker from Studio 1878 explores the crucial role of editing in corporate podcasting. Rather than just trimming and adding music, editing transforms raw conversations into a narrative that mirrors your brand's intelligence, empathy, and perspective. Ed discusses how emotional architecture, pacing, and narrative structure can enhance the story, making it more impactful and authentic. By treating editing as a form of authorship and reputation management, brands can craft podcasts that not only sound good but also reflect their identity and values.
