Podcast Process

PRODUCTION + EDITING

Perfect For: Experts, Coaches, & Consultants

01

Step one

Pre-Production

To ensure that we deliver a podcast that exceeds your expectations, we begin with an initial Discovery call.

Start your journey to the perfect podcast with an initial Discovery call where we gain a thorough understanding of your vision and goals. We'll collect brand assets for a consistent and cohesive brand experience for your viewers and listeners, including referring you to a Brand Specialist if needed. Finally, our team of professionals will work with you to determine the right format, release schedule, and short-form deliverables.

Production

We offer remote podcasting services, which means we'll either help you set up a studio in your office and/or we'll film your podcast episodes on the road at different locations.

We can accommodate a variety of styles for remote podcasting. If you want something more off-the-cuff where you're able to move around, we can do it. If you want something more stationary that we can set up and tear down quickly, that works too. Some clients like to set up their own studio in-house and we have experience with that as well. Our team can also capture b-roll for the episodes if that's needed.

Step three

Post-production & Delivery

Once recording is finished, our team will review the long-form file to identify key moments that will make the perfect short-form clips.

After recording, we'll carefully review the long-form file to select key moments for short-form clips before enhancing your footage with top-quality audio and visual edits. We'll also add captions, licensed music, and professional metadata like ID3 tags, episode titles, and show notes. Once the first cut is ready, we'll send a Vimeo link for your approval and after that, we'll provide final cuts of the long and short-form deliverables. We'll even distribute your long-form podcast on Podcastics. With our expert services, you can relax and focus on creating engaging content for your audience
