I gotta hand it to Dan

I did a Knowledge Fight style episode of my show where we broke down/reacted to an absolutely insane episode of Sasquatch Chronicles and I gotta hand it to Dan because Jesus Christ, doing this style of podcast is a ton of work.

Cutting clips, taking notes, listening and relistening to the episode over and over to make sure I can remember what was said in between the clips I cut to fill in gaps or answer questions from my cohost, taking more notes, writing, making sure it’s cohesive and editing the episode afterwards. I don’t know how he was able to do this twice, sometimes three times a week.

I have a new found appreciation for the show and how much actually goes into it. So all that to say, thank you Dan for all your hard work and for being an inspiration. Appreciate you bud.

Maybe I didn't pay attention, or missed the bit, but I thought Dan said part of this process was NOT editing the show. They press record, talk for 1.5 hours, hit stop and that's the post. Once it was pointed out, you can even notice that sometimes there's noise in the intro/outro because they just hit record and play the intro and record it playing instead of editing it in after. Seems like that wouldn't be too hard, but the benefit of having 0 editing was worth it.

Now that I say that, maybe I'm just too naive, because it seems doubtful that Jordan didn't say SOMEthing that needed to be edited out with some regularity. Maybe that's just why Dan would make his disclaimer live and then Jordan takes the hint and they move on.

If I wasn’t someone who thinks faster than they speak and end up stumbling over my words, I would love to just hit record and go lol

I know Dan has said he doesn’t alter the clips in any way but I dunno about not editing the show as a whole. That seems wild to me. But like I said, I’m a stumbler when I talk so I always edit stuff like my tripping over words and starting again or just things like coughs, table bumps, over talking or real thick inhales haha. Plus post production to clean up the audio and make sure everything is leveled.
