Podcast Recording & Production Rates

As we work with fixed rates and packages, we can help you start relatively quickly. We can help you get off on the right foot within a week, but it’s up to you how high the bar should be set. Consider the prep involved (presentation team, jingles, try-outs) and the degree of editorial content. For the podcasts that require more attention to detail in production, expect a time of around 4 to 6 weeks. 

Of course! We have various clients that record the podcasts themselves. Editing can take a lot of time (especially if you’re not an experienced sound engineer), we can help you with that in no time, helping you produce an audio file you’re proud of. A common example of where you’d need this can be for podcasts where hosts record from different locations, to balance out the different sound levels our engineers can take care of the tedious details. 

Podcasting is still pretty niche in comparison to other means of media. It really depends on the niche, if you’ve over 1000 listeners per episode, you can consider yourself within the upper echelons of Apple Podcast, for instance. Depending on your topics there could be more competition in one niche than in another, just make sure you’re as relevant to your target audience as possible, and better than your competitors. 

As many people listen to podcasts on the go, it’s recommended that you limit yours to the ideal length of 20 to 30 minutes. Don’t take our word for it though, some of the most popular podcasts can be slightly or much longer, just think of Joe Rogan, with some of his episodes lasting longer than 3 hours. The difference lies within the quality of your presenter and interviewee in this case. 

Sound quality is one of the most important aspects to a successful podcast, it can make the difference between regularly returning listeners and people tuning in for a one-off view. We recommend recording in a quiet room, with minimal reflective elements such as glass and shiny surfaces that can reflect sound. Equipment-wise, you can hire our podcast case, which you can start recording with merely a touch of a button. 

A good podcast is not just about having a good microphone and camera set up. Audio production is important for podcasts because they help to add that extra touch of professionalism required to grow a wider, loyal audience.
