For podcast editors/producers, episode turnaround time refers to the duration of time between the date/time you receive the raw recorded files and the date/time you complete the production of that audio.
Expectations vary A LOT so I highly suggest defining these expectations with clients BEFORE starting to work with them.
Also, you should have a plan in place for when the client needs you to produce audio in a shorter amount of time than the agreed upon turnaround time. You know, when they say, “I’m so sorry. but the episode I just sent you has to publish tomorrow. Sorry.” (!!!!!!! Wow, yeah)
