Of course this depends on episode length, level of detail, number of speakers, playback speed and more, so please share those details as well.
With my clients I use a unique production workflow. Since I’m in the actual recording session and I’m making notes for edits Live as they record, when it comes to post production I don’t have to listen back to every word. Of course I always verify that the recordings turned out OK. Then, for editing, I execute the edits I wrote down, and then scan through the conversation for umms, lipsmacks, etc., as well as places where I can tighten it up as necessary.
So, for me, for a 60 minute episode:
So, how much time do you spend on episode production?

Editing takes as long as it takes.
The factors, for me, are the quality of recording, the quality of the guest and if the host is on form or not.
I used a studio in London last month. I thought that using a professional studio might reduce time, even though it was quite expensive (£275 an hour). It didn’t. There was so much mic bleed, it was difficult to separate the host from the guests. They had used a condenser vocal mic on the host (Rode NT1a). On top of that there was a periodic click that went through the recording. Editing that took far longer than normal. I won’t use them again.
Editing episodes recorded remotely depend on what the person in the far end is using to record and where.
I had one guy who had lots of reverb coming through. I asked him about the mic he was using. Although it was a USB, it should have sounded better. I asked where he was recording. He was sitting on a toilet! Happily, he wasn’t using it for it primary function, but he decided that because it sounded better when he sang in the shower, he thought he would take his laptop into the office toilet and record in there.
