Office Hour (Fast Company)

Office Hour is Fast Company’s interview podcast hosted by editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan, featuring in-depth conversations with leaders across business, government, and culture. I handle full audio post-production, shaping long-form dialogue into clear, engaging episodes while preserving the natural tone and flow of each conversation. This includes tightening pacing, removing filler and repetition, managing crosstalk, and ensuring clarity across multiple speakers.
I perform detailed dialogue cleanup and mixing across a wide range of recording conditions, using tools like iZotope RX for declicking, de-reverb, plosive control, breath shaping, and removal of background interruptions. Each episode is mixed to consistent, broadcast-ready standards, with careful leveling and tonal balance to support a polished, professional sound. The goal is to let the ideas lead while maintaining a clean, focused listening experience that holds up across long-form conversations.
