Everything you need for the ongoing production of your podcast's episodes. You record/provide audio files, give some general episode directions (no audio editing on your part), and leave the rest to us. We'll ensure a professionally produced podcast episode is published across your website, social channels, and relevant podcast distribution platforms like Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Alexa, and more.
With a penetration rate greater than that of Twitter, there's never been a better time to start podcasting.

From three-episode pilots to multi-season arcs, we can provide quality hosts, story & script development, detailed audio editing, and everything else for a turn-key podcasting experience.
We offer podcasters -- fresh and established -- a variety of servies to get them over obstacles or bring their shows up-to-speed with the latest advancements in podcasting.

I'm a podcast strategist with two decades of experience in business operations in or adjacent to the C-Suite under my belt. I'd welcome the chance to get to know more about you, your podcast, and the outcomes you're looking to find via podcasting in 2019... and beyond.
Finding me isn't hard, as I tend to be everywhere. If a quick message is your thing, Email, Telegram, and WhatsApp great ways to reach me. If you want to learn more about me and my podcasting/strategy experience, I suggest Wikipedia or LinkedIn. I post publicly about podcasting on Slack, Telegram, Facebook, and Medium. And if you're social, my personal Twitter and Facebook accounts may be of interest.
Also, I do a daily podcast about podcasting called Podcast Pontifications. Listen to a few of those episodes (or even better, subscribe) to get a sense of how I see the podcasting space today and tomorrow.
But if you want unfettered access to my time, there are three easy options for you:
I look forward to speaking/chatting/videocalling with you soon. Cheers!
