Podcasts are usually put through re-recording and editing in order to get a polished final episode. The trend of live podcasts requires hosts and guests to be as prepared with their material and as careful about their timing as possible. Live takes can also bring extra energy to a show, especially when centered around a cultural event like SXSW.
