Editorial Report

This blog will focus on the task of editing the podcast that I made for this project. This is probably the most tedious and yet interesting thing that I have to do on this project considering that editing a podcast is essentially deleting material or having to re-record everything. My goal is to not need to re-record anything except for the conclusion.

The content of this introduction section of the podcast only changed slightly. In this aspect, I deleted parts of sentences making them mean a different thing than before. This was done in hopes of clarifying the content of the rest of the podcast. The content revision was only marginal though, in total probably only 20 words were deleted from the original piece. Otherwise the content remained the same as I felt that the introduction did a sufficient job at presenting the ideas of the podcast.

The form portion of the review process had the most review work. This came mostly in small editorial snips of dead space and repeated words. Countless times I had to shorten a natural pause or clip a series of umms to get a smoother presentation of the information. This not only shortened the intro section but also hopefully made it easier for the listener to follow my thoughts. Again in summary the editorial process here for form and content was actually fairly small because many edits had been done before rough draft publishing.

Here is the pre-edited rough section.
Here is the new version of the section.
