Occasional heavy emotional content - guests share personal stories, must be discrete

Clean, natural-sounding edits - not over-produced
Remove filler words (um, uh, like) where they disrupt flow - but preserve natural speech rhythm
Background noise removal and audio leveling across host and guest tracks
Remove dead air, false starts, and off-the-record sections
Light EQ and compression so all voices sound consistent and warm
Exported as MP3, 128kbps stereo, ready for upload to hosting platform
What I'm NOT looking for:
Heavy processing that makes voices sound unnatural
Music mixing (I'll handle intros/outros separately)
Video editing

Target turnaround: 3–5 business days per episode
