Jump cut

A jump cut is an editing technique where a section of audio is abruptly removed, causing a noticeable shift in the recording. This technique is often used to eliminate unnecessary content, such as long pauses, mistakes, or off-topic tangents. While jump cuts can help streamline the episode and keep it focused, they need to be used carefully to avoid jarring the listener.

Properly executed jump cuts can enhance the pacing and clarity of a podcast episode, making it more engaging and easier to follow. However, overuse or poorly executed jump cuts can disrupt the flow and make the audio sound disjointed.
