Do speaking mistakes (and the resulting self-corrections) “interrupt the pattern” of listeners and bring their full attention back to the audio and increase their focus on the content?
Do mistakes draw the listeners in, or are they just annoying?
When a podcast editor thoroughly removes all speaking mistakes, does the resulting imperfection-free audio make it more likely that listeners will zone out and lose attention?
I’ve been pondering this for a while because it seems when the host messes up, my attention is immediately drawn to them BECAUSE they messed up!
Does that happen to you when listening to podcasts?

I like my podcasts to be a bit more real. Do I get rid of annoyingly repeated words, umms, and things that detract in general, yes but I don’t remove content usually for the sake of making it perfect. I do think that real, engaging, not too sanitized, podcasts production is more engaging. I hear the podcasts that are written like a book and I feel disconnected from them and don’t really care about the content as much as a conversation between friends.
