What podcast moments benefit from sound effects?
Use subtle effects for chapter breaks, sponsor transitions, story scenes, comedic emphasis, weather cues, or suspense moments.
Should podcast effects be loud?
Usually no. Keep effects lower than dialogue so they add texture without distracting listeners or triggering harsh volume jumps.
