PODCAST PRODUCTION

In tone.

The shape of your narrative

Podcast Editing

Podcast Production

Sound quality is critical when you have an audio-only platform. From signature intro music to eliminating background noise, we’ll make your podcast pop. We can also help record your narrative and interviews and suggest tools and techniques for improving your process.

Scripted Podcast Productions

People love stories. And many people get the stories they love by listening to audiobooks and podcasts.

While a majority of podcasts are non-fiction or educational in nature, there are also a lot of fictional stories produced in different genres from comedy to science fiction. They are not only fun to listen to, they are fun to produce!

If you have a story you want to tell, or a script that needs to be produced we’ll team up with you to bring your words to life.

News & Interview Shows

Podcasting has completely changed the way people consume news and information and we help our clients deliver topics of interest to their audience.

Whether you are an independent documentarian looking to tie-in with your latest film, or an expert in any area, we’re here to help you record, produce, edit, book guests and make your podcast available for your audience to listen to.

Television Network Reversions

If you have been tasked with turning your network’s shows into podcasts you’ve come to the right place! Since we started out creating television mixes and international reversions for network and cable TV, it was a natural progression for us to move into taking those same projects and turning them into podcasts.

Working from the stems of your shows we will reversion them with new music and enhanced sound design. Then we make sure they are in podcast spec, which is different from broadcast spec. We’ve done 100’s of these for multiple networks. Let’s talk about your project!
