Each week I participate on a podcast called PowerUser.TV. There's a lot of banter and for most listeners, I think the banter is the draw. But some people don't like all the banter and joking around and wish we'd "edit it".
In fact, we do edit it a lot. A LOT. Yesterday we recorded the show that will show up on Monday (you can listen to the shows at PowerUser.TV). Below are two examples (of many) of what got edited out (transcript):
Kristin: So Derek, were you there when your son was born?
Derek: Yep. It was a real miracle of life type of thing.
Kristin: Yea. How about you Brad, were you there when your sons were born? You cut the umbelical coord and that?
Brad: Oh definitely. I mean, I might as well have, I already had the scapel in my hand from doing the appeasiotomy.
Kristin: Oh my god. Oh god. You did what?
Brad: Well yea, I needed lots of room to get in there to pull him out. Though I did have problems, I used to wear this big metal watch..
Kristin: Oh god!
(cut)
(edited out piece #2)
Kristin: So yea, Brad and I were walking near the building, you know talking about "marketing stuff" or whatever and Brad sees a snake and picks it up.
Brad: Yea, it was just a little gartner snake.
Kristin: Yea, and the thing is trying to bite him and Brad's taunting it because it has no teeth.
Brad: Yea, though it did pee all over me.
Kristin: Yea, that stuff smelled pretty bad.
Brad: Yea, but on the bright side you got that golden shower.
Kristin: Oh god, you're sick.
Brad: Hey, you shouldn't have touched my snake.
Kristin: You die now. (muffled sounds of beatings)
Kristin: I'd like to introduce our new panelist, Jose who will be taking the place of Brad.
Jose: Buenos Dias.

Each week, we record about 70 to 90 minutes of stuff of which 20 minutes gets taken out. Usually stuff that was too offensive or silly or just crazy to keep in there.
