What happens after you stop recording a podcast — and how do you learn to embrace your own voice when you hear it played back?
In the second episode of Series 2 of Creative Becoming, Helen and Elizabeth continue their behind-the-scenes exploration of making a podcast, moving beyond the microphone to discover everything involved in bringing their conversations to listeners. From editing audio and choosing music to designing artwork and promoting the finished show, they reflect on the creative decisions, unexpected challenges and lessons they've learned along the way.
Together, they explore the importance of authentic communication, particularly when editing autistic speech, and why the temptation to remove every hesitation or imperfection can mean losing something valuable. They also discuss navigating creative differences, learning to celebrate their own achievements and discovering how collaboration can lead to something neither person could have created alone.
Whether you're considering starting a podcast, working on a creative project or learning to feel more comfortable sharing your work with the world, this episode explores why finding your voice is about more than simply pressing record.
