From raw audio to published episode in four moves
Every podcast has its own rhythm. We adapt our production pipeline to yours — not the other way around. Here is what a typical engagement looks like once you come on board.
Discovery call and show audit
We listen to your existing episodes (or your vision for a new show), evaluate your recording setup, and map out a production plan. This includes episode cadence, format preferences, intro/outro design, and distribution targets. Most audits take about forty-five minutes and are completely free of charge.
Recording support and session prep
Before you hit record, we send you a pre-session checklist tailored to your microphone, room, and software. If you record remotely with guests, we configure high-fidelity capture through tools like Riverside or Zencastr so every track arrives clean and separated.
Edit, mix, and master
Our editors remove filler words, long pauses, and mouth clicks. We apply noise reduction, EQ, compression, and loudness normalization to broadcast standards (LUFS -16 for streaming, -19 for Apple Podcasts). You receive a draft within 48 hours for review before we finalize.
Publish, promote, and measure
We upload to your host, write keyword-rich show notes, generate audiograms for social media, and submit to directories. Monthly analytics reports show download trends, listener geography, and episode performance so you know exactly what resonates with your audience.
What we actually do (and do well)
We are not a one-size template. Pick the services you need, skip the ones you do not.
Full-episode production
End-to-end handling of your podcast from raw multi-track files to a polished, tagged MP3 ready for distribution. Includes editing, mixing, mastering, chapter markers, and ID3 metadata. We work in Pro Tools, Logic, and Audition depending on the project. Turnaround is typically two business days per episode, with rush delivery available.
Video podcast editing
Multi-camera cuts, lower thirds, dynamic zoom transitions, and branded overlays for YouTube or Spotify video. We export in 1080p or 4K and provide vertical clips for short-form platforms.
Show launch strategy
Naming, cover art direction, trailer scripting, hosting platform selection, and a 30-day launch plan designed to land you in New and Noteworthy. We have launched shows that hit the top 50 in their category within the first week.
Growth and analytics
Monthly reporting dashboards, SEO-optimised show notes, cross-promotion outreach, and listener survey design. We track downloads, unique listeners, completion rates, and audience demographics across all major platforms.
Guest booking and prep
We research, pitch, and schedule guests aligned with your niche. Each guest receives a briefing document and tech checklist so the conversation starts smoothly and stays on topic.
Transcription and show notes
Human-reviewed transcripts with speaker labels, timestamps, and keyword-rich summaries. We also write blog-style show notes that improve your search engine visibility and give listeners a reason to visit your site.

Things people ask before signing on
Our pricing depends on episode length, frequency, and the level of service you need. A solo host recording a 30-minute weekly episode typically falls between $150 and $300 CAD per episode for full production. Interview shows with multiple tracks and guest coordination start around $250. We provide a detailed quote after the discovery call so there are no surprises.
Not necessarily. A decent USB microphone like the Audio-Technica ATR2100x or the Samson Q2U will get you 90% of the way there. We provide a free equipment recommendation guide during onboarding. If you are recording in a noisy environment, we can also advise on affordable acoustic treatment options that make a significant difference.
Standard turnaround is 48 hours from the moment we receive your files. Rush delivery within 24 hours is available for an additional fee. We also offer batch editing for clients who record multiple episodes in a single session — those are typically returned within four business days.
Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us after producing their first 20 or 30 episodes on their own. We start with an audit of your existing show, identify areas for improvement in audio quality, pacing, and discoverability, and then take over production so you can focus on content and guest relationships.
We can manage your hosting account on platforms like Buzzsprout, Transistor, or Captivate. We handle episode uploads, metadata tagging, scheduling, and directory submissions to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, and others. You retain full ownership of your RSS feed and content at all times.
