Podcast Audio Cleanup & Edit

I have a 35-minute podcast episode that needs to sound crisp and professional. The priority is advanced noise reduction to wipe out the steady background hiss that was picked up during recording. Once that is clean, I need the natural flow restored by tightening any long pauses and gaps and smoothing out the volume so the conversation sits at a consistent, broadcast-ready level.

Around the halfway mark there is a section that must come out entirely; I will supply the replacement audio clip, so you’ll drop that in seamlessly and make sure the transition is inaudible.

If you also create simple graphic intros and can lay in royalty-free theme music, let me know—those extras would be great, but the polished audio file is what I need first.

Please deliver a mastered WAV or high-quality MP3 along with a quick note on what plugins or tools you used for the cleanup so I can keep my workflow consistent for future episodes.
