The Lazy Girl's Guide to Podcasting: A Podcast about Podcasting and Podcasting Tips
There's a lot of talk about cutting pauses out of podcast episodes, and a lot of tools, such as Riverside and Descript use the ability to remove pauses as a selling feature.But sometimes, pauses are needed. I've recently been listening to Paul C. Brunson's We Need to Talk (I'll link it below if you're not familiar with the show). This is about raw and honest conversations and there are times in the show when there are whole pauses, sometimes a few seconds long. And this is ok; it shows raw emotion and the moment and conjecture of what is being said by the guest would be lost or diminished if those pauses weren't left in. They're poignant and allow you as a listener to reflect.Sure, leaving pauses in won't work for all podcasts and all show or presenter styles, but depending on the content you're delivering, the interviews you're conducting, and the tone of the message that you're delivering, pauses may need to be left in.So, in a world of podcasting advice where you're constantly being told to trim the pauses and cut out 'dead space' in terms of there being no audio; I'm giving you the permission you need to consider if pauses are needed in your show, and also, permission to leave those pauses in if they work for you and your content.Links referenced in this episode:We Need To Talk with Paul C.

Life is full of questions, challenges, and moments that leave us wondering, “What now?” Instead of ignoring these struggles, We Need To Talk invites you to bring them into the light — to a place where honest conversations can lead to healing, clarity, and hope.
Celeste Headlee: journalist, bestselling author, NPR host, and one of TED's most-watched speakers (31 million views+) has spent decades studying the art (and science) of conversation. But she didn't always get it right. In fact, she says she used to be “the worst.” In this episode, Celeste shares how she rewired her communication style, what most people get wrong about connection, and the powerful tools anyone can use to become a better conversationalist. Celeste shares: How to start a conversation when you don't know what to say Why the common advice about conversation (like “maintain eye contact”) doesn't actually work The real difference between debate and discussion + why we're confusing the two The surprising neuroscience behind great conversation (and why voice matters more than words) The truth about curiosity + how to practice it (even if it doesn't come naturally) How neural coupling creates the feeling of being seen and understood What small talk really does for your brain + why it's not so “small” after all The simple trick she uses to diffuse conflict and build connection in just 3 questions How to stop trying to “win” arguments and start learning from disagreement Why younger generations are craving connection more than ever (and what's getting in the way) The power of follow-up questions + how they make people feel heard What we're getting wrong about inclusion and how tiny micro-interactions create belonging Why performative listening is worse than not listening at all How to say “I don't know” in a way that builds trust and authority Why smart people often struggle in conversation and what to do about it Book Rec: Bleak House by Charles Dickens Follow Celeste Headlee here.
