Your ideas deserve to sound professional and feel effortless. I handle the production grind so you can focus on great conversations, thoughtful storytelling, and growing a loyal audience. From polished audio to scroll-stopping social clips and full video workflows, I have podcast production options that fit where you are right now and where you are headed next.
Why partner with me

I bring the workflow, editing, show notes, distribution support, and promotional assets that help your episodes get found and shared.
What the market looks like right now
Podcast production pricing varies by episode length, track count, cleanup complexity, speed, and deliverables. Current sources show a wide range. Freelance audio editing commonly lands around $150 to $500 per standard episode, with agencies charging more for done-for-you services and strategy. Studio packages for audio and multi-camera video can run from about $200 up to the mid-hundreds per episode depending on inclusions.
Based on that landscape, here are my clear, simple packages that make sense for small businesses and creators who want dependable quality without guesswork.

What working together looks like
You will have a simple, repeatable workflow. You record. You drop files into a shared folder. I handle the cleanup, assembly, and deliverables. You get a tidy folder every release with final audio and video, clips, graphics, notes, and captions. You approve, and we publish. If you need a hand with guest onboarding, release forms, or topic planning, I can support that as well.
Turnaround
Standard delivery is five business days for Audio Essentials and seven to nine business days for packages that include clips and video. Rush is available when scheduled ahead. Consistency matters more than speed, so I set a cadence that fits your calendar and your audience.
What you provide
Raw audio or video files, brand logo and colors, music intro and outro files, any sponsor reads, and key dates. If you are still choosing a mic or remote recording setup, I am happy to recommend gear and simple room fixes so you sound great without buying a studio.
Ready to start
If you already have episodes recorded, send one over as a test. I will edit a short segment, create a clip, and share the deliverables so you can hear and see the difference. If you are planning a launch, we can map a four-week runway that includes cover art, a trailer, show page copy, and your first three episodes.
