I am your expert PE
I have read the job description and this particular project got my attention. I would really like to work together, so I want to share my recent, similar experience:
I am working with another podcast series - "Shareitage", which is more family oriented, so the interviewees are not professionals or with any experience of talking on the mic. So there are quite a lot of stutters, ummms, uhhs, repetitions of the same phrases. Also there is quite a bit of background noise sometimes. I always pay attention to these small details, remove everything extra from the recording and make the audio as if it has been recorded by professional speakers. I have left my client more then happy and I am sure our workflow and results will be extraordinary too.
Looking forward to working with you,
Best wishes
