You want a podcast your buyers actually finish. Here’s how it happens.

We’re a podcast studio in Larchmont, NY, and we make branded interview shows for B2B companies. You bring the guests and the opinions. We handle the recording, the edit, the sound, the show notes, and hitting publish — four episodes at a time.

02 / services --all

Everything between “good idea” and “it’s live.”

Every package includes all five of these. Honestly, that’s the whole point — you shouldn’t have to stitch a recording tool, a freelance editor, and an intern with a WordPress login together to get one episode out.

  1. Remote guest recording

    Your guest stays home. We run the session in Riverside, capture every voice on its own local track at 48 kHz, and keep a producer on the line the whole time — so nobody spends the interview wondering if it’s actually recording.

    Included · both plans48 kHz / 24-bitper-speaker tracks
  2. Multitrack editing

    We cut the ums, the false starts, and the six-minute tangent about the CEO’s boat. Then we level everyone, so the soft-spoken engineer isn’t getting steamrolled by the host who sounds like a radio DJ.

    Included · both plansiZotope RX cleanup2 revision rounds
  3. Sound design

    Intro, outro, stingers, and room tone that doesn’t hiss. On the Lit Four we write you an original theme, so your show doesn’t open with the same stock track three of your competitors licensed last year.

    Library music · Straightoriginal theme · Lit−16 LUFS
  4. Show notes

    A real write-up, not a transcript dump: a tight summary, timestamps, two pull quotes, and guest links. Written so your sales team can paste it into an email and not feel weird about it.

    Included · both planstimestampspull quotes
  5. Episode publishing

    We upload to your host, set the artwork, chapters and metadata, and schedule the drop. You get a link and a one-line Slack message. That’s your whole job on release day.

    Included · both plansApple + Spotifychapters

Billed per 4-episode package. No hourly meter running in the background.

The short version of how we think

Nobody subscribes to your logo. They stick around because your guest said something true at minute twelve — so we cut everything standing between the listener and minute twelve.

03 / after.the.mics.go.off

Here’s the rhythm once you hang up the call.

You record. Then you go back to your actual job. Within a week there’s a cut in your inbox, and the only thing we need from you is a thumbs-up or a “trim the part about Q3.”

04 / forward this to your guest

What your guest needs before we hit record.

Good audio is mostly decided in the five minutes before the call. Copy this, paste it into the calendar invite, and you’ve done more for the episode than any plugin can.

  1. $ cat guest-checklist.txt
  2. Wired headphones. Corded earbuds beat AirPods, every time.
  3. A small room with soft stuff in it. Closets: great. Kitchens: no.
  4. Laptop plugged in, Chrome open. Quit Slack and email.
  5. Phone on Do Not Disturb. Not just silent — it buzzes.
  6. 60 minutes blocked. We usually wrap in 45.
  7. Water, no ice. Ice clinks. The mic hears it.

05 / pricing --per-four

Pick your four: straight, or lit.

Both get you four finished, published episodes. The difference is how much of the show’s sound and launch we build from scratch.

06 / questions from first calls

The stuff everyone asks before signing.

Why do you only sell episodes in fours?

Because one episode tells you nothing. Four gets you past the awkward first one, gives listeners a reason to subscribe, and gives us enough tape to figure out what your show actually sounds like.

Do we need to buy microphones?

Probably not. Guests just need wired headphones. For your host, we’ll recommend a USB mic in the $100 range — and if you’d rather not shop, we’ll order it and ship it to them.

Who finds and books the guests?

You do — you know your customers and partners way better than we do. We handle the rest: the prep email, the calendar hold, the recording link, and on the Lit Four, a 15-minute prep call so nobody walks in cold.

How long until episode one is live?

Usually about three weeks from kickoff: roughly a week to plan and record, five business days to edit, and a few days for you to review. Need it faster? That’s what the 72-hour rush is for.

What if we don’t like the first edit?

Two revision rounds per episode are baked into the price. If it still isn’t right after that, we hop on a call, play it back together, and fix it while you listen.

Who owns the recordings?

You do. Every raw multitrack file, final mix, and piece of artwork lands in a shared drive with your name on it. Leave whenever you want and take all of it with you.
