An editor should be able to open a session folder and identify the original recordings without asking which final file is really final. A small folder structure can do that job better than a long explanation sent separately.
Separate three kinds of files
Keep untouched source recordings in an originals folder. Put the active editing project and any required assets in a working folder. Keep exported listening files in a delivery folder. The exact names are your choice; consistency across episodes matters more than a special naming system.
Name participant sources with the episode identifier and speaker role or agreed display name. Avoid adding personal details that the editor does not need. If a recording was restarted, use a part number and explain the order in a short session note.
Include music, artwork or other approved project assets in the handoff, or clearly say where they can be obtained. A project file may point to an asset on one person's desktop that another computer cannot access.
Test the handoff once
Copy the folder to the agreed destination and try opening it from there. Check for missing-file warnings and confirm the timeline duration. A successful copy of the project file alone is not a successful project handoff.
Add a brief note describing known audio problems, the intended structure and the next decision the editor should make. Include timestamps for replacement answers or interruptions.
Keep the original folder until the recipient confirms that the copied project opens correctly. Podbento's local-first workflow is intended to keep source work visible; whichever editing tool you use, treat clear file ownership and a tested copy as part of finishing the session.
