49. Behind the Podcast: Language, Editing & Conversation
To celebrate the two year anniversary of the Really Good Conversations podcast Amy flips the mic and chats with the person behind every episode, podcast editor and multidisciplinary creative, Gosia Lapinski.
With a rich background in digital design, art and language teaching, Gosia brings a thoughtful, intuitive approach to communication and editing.
Together they discuss how language shapes personality, the cultural differences in how we speak, and what makes a conversation feel truly engaging.
Gosia shares insights from both her editing desk and teaching experience, highlighting what AI tools still can’t replicate the subtle cues editors listen for that machines miss (although it may be able to do this down the line).
Key Topics Discussed:
- Gosia's insights as a language teacher
- How learning a second language reshapes your identity
- The cultural differences in how we small talk
- Our podcast editing process and tools
- Skills needed to create a successful podcast
- Importance of audio consistency
- The balance between polish and authenticity
- What AI can’t do (yet) in podcast editing
This is a reflective, behind-the-scenes conversation filled with laughter and honest observations about how we connect, and why it matters.
