the line items that build your episode

Mix and match, or hand us the whole feed. Turnaround runs 3–5 business days per episode — rush slots open up if your release date is tighter, just flag it when you book.

01

show setup & launch

Brand-new podcast? We build your hosting and RSS feed, design the cover-art specs, write your custom intro/outro, submit to Apple, Spotify and YouTube, and run a recording & mic-coaching session so your first take lands clean.

edit, mix & master — per episode

The core service. Story edit for pace, filler words and dead air gone, room noise stripped, levels balanced, then mixed and mastered to the −16 LUFS podcast standard. Includes chapter markers, show notes, and one review round.

original sound design

Custom music beds, stings, transitions and ambient layers scored to your show — not a stock loop your listeners have heard on ten other feeds. Added onto any per-episode booking when you want the production to step up.

backlog rescue

Got a folder of recordings that never made it out? We work through them in a batch — edited, mixed, mastered and queued — so your stalled season finally ships. Priced per episode; the more you bundle, the better the rate.

what every per-episode booking includes

the same four passes, every single week

No episode skips a step. Here's the signal chain your audio runs through before it hits your feed.

clean

Hum, hiss, echo and background noise pulled out — without the underwater, over-processed sound that gives editing away.

cut

Story edit for pace: ums, dead air and rambles trimmed so listeners hear a tight episode, not a transcript read aloud.

mix

Voices, music beds and transitions balanced, then mastered to −16 LUFS so you sit at the same loudness as the big shows.

ship

Final files tagged for Apple, Spotify and YouTube, with chapter markers and show notes. You hit publish on your day.

before you book

the questions you're actually asking

Straight answers on how a project runs, what we need from you, and what lands in your inbox.

how do I get my audio to you?

Upload your raw files to a shared folder we send you — solo, remote, or full multitrack, in whatever format your recorder spits out. New to recording? Book the show-setup service and we'll dial in your mic, levels and remote workflow first so the next take is clean from the start.

how fast will I get it back?

Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days per episode from the day your files land. If your release date is sooner, add rush turnaround for a 48-hour delivery — just tell us when you book so we can hold a slot.

what if the first cut isn't right?

One review round is built into every per-episode booking — flag the timestamps, tell us what to change, and we revise. Need a deeper second pass? The extra review round add-on covers it. Same two ears handle your revisions, so nothing gets lost in handoff.

do I have to commit to a monthly plan?

Not at all. Book a single episode at $385 whenever you've got one ready. The Studio Partner plan is there if you'd rather hand off your whole feed for one monthly price — but you choose the lane, and you can move between them as your show grows.

what loudness do you master to?

Every episode is mastered to −16 LUFS integrated — the podcast loudness standard — so you sit at the same volume as the top shows in the feed. No jarring jump when a listener goes from someone else's episode straight into yours.

you've got the recordings. let's turn them into episodes.

Tell us where your show is — a brand-new idea, a mid-season grind, or a backlog to clear — and we'll send back a clear quote within one business day.
