Podcast Storytelling & Editorial Support

I work with podcast hosts, producers, and organisations to help episodes feel clear, purposeful, and engaging. This is a commissioned editorial storytelling service, focused on shaping content rather than technical production.

I can support podcasts by creating story structures from scratch or by providing editorial storytelling support — listening to recorded audio and advising where edits, cuts, or structural changes should take place.

What I Do

Editorial Storytelling Support

When episodes are already recorded, I provide editorial guidance by:

  • Listening closely to full recordings

  • Identifying the core story and strongest moments

  • Highlighting where clarity is lost, pacing drifts, or repetition creeps in

  • Advising where cuts, restructuring, or emphasis would improve flow

This support is delivered as clear, actionable editorial notes that producers or editors can work from confidently.

Creating Stories from Scratch

For new or developing podcasts, I can help by:

  • Designing episode narrative arcs

  • Structuring conversations and interviews

  • Advising on intros, outros, and transitions

  • Helping shape a consistent editorial approach across episodes

This ensures episodes are purposeful before recording begins.

Strategic Podcast Storytelling

I also help podcast teams:

  • Clarify the purpose and audience of a show

  • Maintain consistency of tone and storytelling approach

  • Identify themes and formats that work best over time

How I Work

  • I listen editorially, not technically

  • I focus on story, structure, and audience attention

  • I provide practical guidance rather than theory

    My role is to support hosts and producers in making decisions that strengthen the story without losing their voice.

Some words from clients…

  • "Paul is the real deal. His multi-faceted expertise, coupled with his genuine passion for storytelling, makes him an indispensable asset. If you’re looking to elevate your podcast or any form of communication, I strongly recommend Paul. He segmented our episodes, amplifying the storytelling elements, and the result? The end of Season 3 saw some of our best episodes. Paul doesn’t just offer counsel; he crafts experiences. His calming presence and a keen eye for detail make him the go-to guy for anyone serious about impactful communication."
