Today, we're joined by special guest D.R., and we'll be exploring the intricate craft of building a compelling story arc for your podcast episodes.

We'll also touch on how reviews influence our decisions, the evolving role of AI in editing and summarizing content, and why good audio quality is crucial for listener engagement. Plus, Dave shares some personal tips on using Hindenburg software for narrative podcasting, and both hosts discuss the ever-present challenge of setting the right default audio settings.
