Referencing Your Old Episodes to Evaluate the Sound

One insightful habit of professional chess players is that after each of their games they review the game for the purpose of learning from their mistakes and improving their play. Podcasters, editors and producers can follow a similar process with their previous episodes.

This type of evaluation can be completed within a short time and can give deep insight into what can be improved, changed or terminated in terms of audio quality, performance and much more. And you probably only have to do these types of evaluations every 6-12 months. Doing so will ensure that your overall production value continues to improve over time. And you personally will train your ears SO MUCH!

On a related note: Many folks HATE their first handful of episodes. Mostly because of their performance but also sometimes because of the audio quality.
