A:  The process begins by filling out the quick form on our Get Started page. We’ll then get back with you within two business days to set up a consultation. During the consultation you’ll be able to tell us about you, your podcast, the goals for your podcast, and any other info that you think we should know. We’ll discuss our services and answer any questions you have.

Once you sign up for our services, we get to work! If you’re a brand-new podcaster, we set up a punch list tailored specifically for you and your podcast goals. We identify the items needed to launch your podcast and establish a launch plan.

If you’re an existing podcaster, we set up a schedule and checklist for each podcast episode. We set up a Basecamp project so that you can send us raw-audio files. Once the raw-audio files have been edited by our team, we send them to you or prepare them for publishing on your media host (e.g. Libsyn) or website. If you prefer, we can even publish the episodes for you.

Quite simply, once we establish your publishing plan, all you have to do is send us your raw-audio files. We can take care of the rest!

You can spend your time learning all the technical details of editing your podcast and then spend time each week sitting at your computer being a part-time audio engineer, or you can focus on what you do best, and let us do what we do best.

When you let us do what we do best, you’re entrusting your podcast to a team that has produced thousands of podcast episodes and helped launch well over 100 different podcasts.
