“I’ve been a member for a few years now, and I’ve gotten a wealth of information out of it. So far, the most valuable aspect has been the on–demand tutorials. As a solopreneur, I often can’t watch these events in real-time – but I’ve been able to go through the archive of presentations to greatly expand my knowledge of the craft. The Academy has been a great, great resource.”

Chief Editor Officer
Hi, I’m Steve. I’ve been editing podcasts professionally for my peers since January 2016.
I LOVE editing podcasts and run the world’s largest and most diverse community of podcast editors: The Podcast Editors Club.
Between running the Club, Conference, Academy, and editing over 100 of my clients’ podcast episodes every month, you could say I have some experience with editing podcasts and how to actually run a small business.
Now, with the Podcast Editor Academy, you get to learn from me AND other professionals in the podcast industry!
Mark is a reformed engineer, graduate level data scientist, and former corporate global marketing leader – that has evolved into a professional conversational architect.
His personal podcasting journey started back in 2013 and has been instrumental in the creation of Podcast Atlanta, Podcast Guest Academy, Podcast Editor Academy, and other podcasting communities totaling over 10k members.
Mark also shows thought leaders and brands how to effectively reach their market when consumers are not looking at screens.
“Steve shares new editing jobs when they come in. I expressed my interest with a quick email and a few days later – I got the gig! The work I did from that gig alone was more than the yearly membership for the Academy. Much more! There are so many opportunities for professional development, networking and business tips in the Podcast Editor Academy – I highly recommend joining.”

“The Academy is one of my best resources as a podcast editor & engineer. I use it as a tool for something I want to learn or need to brush up on. For anyone who’s considering joining the Podcast Editor’s Academy there are several reason’s why you should: 1. Your Business – if you’re serious about growing your business as an editor, the Academy provides you with opportunities and resources to do just that. 2. Education – use the academy to learn a new skill, get a better grasp of the tax and legal side of the business, templates, or refine your current skills. I’m grateful to Mark and Steve for providing content, materials and discount that are actually useful for day to day operations.”

“I used to travel a lot for a day job…living out of hotel rooms and missing my family.
One of the greatest benefits of becoming a Podcast Editor has been working at home — on my own schedule!
My wife and I are much happier now than we’ve ever been. We are able to live off my income and take trips when we want to – not when the boss says it’s okay or there’s a holiday.
I never thought editing podcasts could actually be a career. But here we are!”
