Planning, recording, editing, and publishing are the four essential phases of podcast editing. Episode content is condensed, the narrative is consistent, audio quality is improved, and sometimes more resources are created for your podcast by podcast editors. 

Before hiring a podcast editor, you need to know the basic and technical skills, including the qualifications and requirements. Here are the most common:

Objectives/Duties

• Enhance audio by editing, adding clips, splicing clips, and processing with improvements
• Check the audio's quality, and that episodes are free of errors and edit before final recording
• Quick turnaround of completed outputs
• Uploading and downloading files to the server
• Ability to troubleshoot technical issues
• Other critical elements, such as intros, outros, and the accompanying music, should be guided

• Excellent time management skills, and be capable of handling multiple jobs concurrently

Include any specific requirements and credentials you're searching for in a podcast editor. The following are some examples:

• Experience as a podcast editor or in a similar job of at least three years
• Excellent time management skills and ability to work under pressure

The actual salary per individual varies depending on the applicant, the experience they have, and of course, how good their skills are. However, you can usually expect to budget between $3.00 and $8.00 per hour to hire a podcast editor!

Here are two essential things to take into account when hiring a podcast editor and deciding how much you want to pay per hour:

1. An experienced podcast editor, or someone with extensive video editing experience, will likely command a higher hourly salary rate. Although, you should expect them to perform better, have more specialized areas of expertise, and produce higher-quality results!
2. A young, new graduate with little to no experience as a podcast editor would typically be happy to work for less per hour.
