What moves the price
- Raw audio length — editing a 90-minute recording takes far longer than a 20-minute episode
- Number of speakers — more voices mean more levelling, cross-talk and clean-up
- Audio quality — noisy or echoey recordings need extra repair
- Extras — show notes, transcripts and social clips add to the podcast editor's fee
- Video podcasts — editing multi-camera video costs more than audio only
- Turnaround — next-day delivery of a podcast episode is priced above a standard turnaround

How to pay less
- Record in a quiet room with a decent microphone so the podcast editor spends less time on clean-up
- Book a monthly package of episodes rather than one at a time
- Write your own show notes and pay only for audio editing
Before you book
- Send the podcast editor a sample episode and your intro, outro and music files
- Check that any music in the podcast is licensed for use in podcasts
- Agree turnaround, file formats and revisions in writing
- Ask how raw podcast recordings are stored and deleted, especially if guests share personal information
