Content Edits vs. Audio Edits

You may have different names for these two types of edits, but here are my definitions of these terms:

Content Edits: Removing entire questions and answers, reordering sections, removing parts of questions or answers, choosing between repeated questions because the host asked the same question twice because the guest asked the host to repeat the question, etc.

Audio Edits: Removing things which don’t alter the words or message but make the audio easier to listen to. These may include umms, stutters, long sections of silence, lipsmacks, extraneous background noises, interruptions, etc.

If you’re editing someone else’s show, be sure to be REALLY clear on what types of editing you’ll be doing and not doing.
