Podcast Audio Cleanup & Edits

I have raw podcast recordings that need a precise edit focused on cutting out mistakes such as false starts, long pauses, repeats, or off-topic diversions. The overall sound is already in good shape, so your main responsibility is to create a smooth, natural-sounding conversation; light noise reduction or leveling is welcome if you think it helps, but the core deliverable is a clean, mistake-free master.

Deliverables
• One broadcast-ready stereo WAV or high-quality MP3.
• The accompanying DAW session or an edit decision list so I can review the cuts if I ever need to make changes.

Acceptance criteria
• Every audible mistake is removed without introducing clicks, pops, or awkward silences.
• Dialogue remains perfectly in sync and no valid content is lost.
• Final mix peaks at ‑1 dBFS and sits around ‑16 LUFS to match common podcast loudness standards.

Please include your typical turnaround time and a short note about past podcast work so I know what to expect.
