PES 125: Emily Prokop

Hang out with me and Emily Prokop. She is the host of The Story Behind podcast, a podcast editor and consultant, and author of The Story Behind: The Extraordinary History Behind Ordinary Objects!

We discussed Emily's equipment and workflow, and lots more:

• Blooper track: She copies clips onto a dedicated track for bloopers.
• Handling loud breaths: She moves all the loud breaths onto a dedicated track where she lowers their volume!
• Noise reduction
• Hi-pass filtering
• In her "studio": Moving blankets around her desk and curtains to dampen room noise, white shears
• Reaper and Reaper templates
• iZotope RX 6: De-plosive, Mouth De-click
• ATR2100 microphone
• Sony MDR-7506 Headphones
• Publishing a 96kbps mono MP3 for her show
• Auphonic leveling to -16 LUFS (! her mono track!)
• Hardwired to internet
• Previously Emily was on Dave Jackson's show discussing structuring and presenting good content on podcasts because she has more than 10 years editing experience in print journalism. That episode is titled Journalism 101 For Podcasters.

Thanks for sharing so much great info, Emily!
