So you want to make a podcast?

… Don’t worry. Everyone wants to make a podcast at some point in their lives. It’s perfectly natural.

The question is: how do you make a good one?

Well, it’s all about sound, story, and dynamics.

These days, you’ll rarely hear commercial audio content that gets all three of these elements right. Either the editing and overall quality make it hard to listen to, it has no structure or sense of purpose, or the whole thing lacks energy and variety. The result? Listeners tune out.

That’s why you need to get a producer who can do all three.

How can I help you make great audio?

I’m a full-stack producer. That means I can handle every stage of the production process:

Pre-production:

  • Format development and consultation

  • Narrative treatments

  • Identifying and booking guests

  • Talent management

  • Location, studio, and remote recording

  • Scriptwriting

Post-production:

  • Tape editing

  • Sound design

  • Original music

  • Mixing and mastering

  • Legal and editorial compliance

  • Distribution

If you need an experienced pair of ears to take the lead on a single aspect of your project – editing, sound design, mixing, project management, or anything else – I can help.

If you’ve got a great idea but need someone to help you develop it into a fantastic product, I can help.

If you need someone with years of experience who can help you find the best way to tell your story, I can help.
