Is audio editing really needed for podcast episodes?

https://PodcastFastTrack.com - there's debate that goes on now and then about the need or lack of need for dialogue editing in podcast episodes.

Rather than get into the debate (which is fun, but which tends to be rather unproductive) I'd rather let the results speak for themselves. LITERALLY.

The audio behind this video (minus the music) is ALL of the dialogue edits that were taken from JUST ONE episode of a client podcast.

This is over 1 /12 minutes of filler words and verbal spaghetti cut from the listener's experience. Multiply that over hundreds of listeners and you get the point.
