Podcast Editors Mastermind

Self-employed people who get their health insurance through the Marketplace need to know about the ACA subsidy changes in 2026.

Example: Make too much money and you'll have to pay back all the premiums you received for the entire year. For me, that means *$24,000!!!

Podcast Editor's Regrets: What We Wish We Knew When We Started

#128: Do filler words matter?

Tom Hanson found several key findings from research and industry data that shows filler words do matter!
"Episodes with >4 filler words per minute saw 18–22% higher drop-off rate in the first 10 minutes compared to “clean” episodes" according to a Riverside listener study.
How can you and I use this knowledge to convince potential clients that it's worth paying us to remove filler words?

We discuss the impact of filler words on the success of podcasts in this episode of the Podcast Editors Mastermind Show.

👉 Stick around to the end for the post-production process Steve used to get excited about editing this interview.

#127: Carrie Caulfield is back to give a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to grow beyond "just" editing.

She talks about how she went from editing simple interview shows to landing a major role with the Legal Media Network—all sparked by a note in the Podcast Editors Club Facebook group with a pitch. Carrie didn’t wait until she felt “ready.” Instead, she kept saying yes to opportunities, learning as she went, and building her confidence through experience rather than formal training.

As her career progressed, she naturally moved beyond editing into storytelling, production, and eventually leadership. Now, she’s overseeing large-scale operations, managing teams, and helping shape content for hundreds of clients. Through it all, she keeps coming back to the same idea: growth comes from being willing to figure things out, even when you’re unsure. Her journey is a reminder that skills build on each other, and if you stay curious and open to stretching yourself, you can turn a small starting point into something much bigger.

Key moments: • Carrie secured her current role by proactively pitching herself
 • She transitioned into narrative storytelling and full-scale production work
 • Her experience shows that editing skills can evolve into broader storytelling and leadership capabilities
 • She now oversees production for nearly 200 clients, managing teams, workflows, and content strategy
 • A major success factor has been willingness to learn on the fly and take on challenges without waiting for formal training

#124: "Storytelling as a Service” (SaaS, as Mark Deal would say) is a way Podcast Managers, Producers, and even Editors can make money on the development of a serialized, documentary-style podcast.

Mark Deal and Pat Fenner created “Habitat: Heart, Hammer, and Home”, a documentary podcast about housing, hope, and the people building stronger communities. The project serves as a proof of concept for a higher-tier service, with the core idea of creating compelling, narrative-driven audio experiences that differentiate your offerings in a crowded market.

(08:10) Challenges in Storytelling as a Service

(24:13) Resource Management and Project Momentum

(28:12) Inspirations for Storytelling and Structuring Content

(30:34) The Importance of Connection in Podcasting (even for us Editors)

(32:54) Song: Level Up the Craft!
Our GuestsAbout Pat Fenner:
Pat is a podcast producer and strategic storyteller who helps business owners get their message from the mic to the masses. She specializes in story-forward podcasts for coaches, consultants, and service-based brands that build connection.
