Transcript: Ross Blocher, co-host of the podcast Oh No, Ross and Carrie! (ohnopodcast.com)
Well, it’s not unreasonable to say, like, a Saturday and sometimes even a Sunday might just be taken up completely with podcast work. So there’s a variety of things that Carrie [the show’s co-host] and I will do. If we’ve got an event coming up — maybe we bought a Groupon for a particular treatment, or we’ve signed up for a conference — we tend to carpool to save on gas and have time to talk before and after. So I’ll often drive over, pick her up from her place —depending on which of us lives closer to the thing, and one of us will pick the other up and drive over there. And then we’ll just experience it, whatever it may be. And that’s the fun of our podcasts is that we never know whether it’s going to be a yoga class or reflexology treatment for our feet.
So whatever it is, we go out and do it. We try to go in as blindly as possible, so we don’t know too much in advance. And that can sometimes last four hours or maybe two, however long it takes. Then we’ll usually drive back to Carrie’s place. That’s where we tend to do our recording. And so we’ll take, for an hour-long episode, we’ll probably record about an hour and a half of audio, oftentimes more. And we’re stopping constantly as we record for planes flying overhead, for her dogs making noises, for her boyfriend arriving and opening the door or leaving. We’re trying to get as good a quality audio as possible.
And so afterwards, I’ll take that audio file and copy it over onto the computer. I’ll do some noise removal, some basic leveling to get the levels right, and upload it onto the cloud. And we have an editor now, who’s a lifesaver for me, Victor, and he’ll do a first pass on the audio. So on that day, I can kind of leave it alone and forget about it after I’ve uploaded the audio, but it’ll come back to me later. So it wouldn’t be atypical for me to then go home and have audio for the next show that Victor’s already gone through, and I’ll do my edit pass. And I’m removing all of our “ums” and “ahs” and pauses and any other leftover bits because I want to get just the audio that people are really going to enjoy and listen to.
