concept & Prep
We work with you to figure out the format, the tone, and the structure of your show. That includes writing questions, researching guests, and building episode outlines so you walk into every recording knowing exactly what you're doing.
production
Recording happens wherever it makes sense for the project: our Chicago studio, your office, a partner facility, on location. We bring the crew, the gear, and the direction. Audio, video, or both.
direction
This is the part most podcast producers skip. We direct talent the same way we direct on-camera interviews for brand films. That means better performances, tighter conversations, and episodes that don't need to be rescued in the edit.
post-production
Editing, mixing, sound design, music selection. Every episode gets a full audio pass, not just a trim and a level check. We also cut social edits so you get more content out of every recording session. Ask us about our "whole buffalo" strategy.
delivery
Finished episodes delivered in platform-ready formats. Audio for Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Video for YouTube. Social cuts sized for Instagram, LinkedIn, wherever your audience lives.
the look + the sound.
full-service podcast production
So you want to make a podcast, huh? We'll make sure it looks great, sounds great, and hits your strategic goals. When it's time to get your show out into the world, we work with your marketing team or agency to make sure everything is ready for distribution and growth.
the ears don't get to have all the fun.
video podcast
production
The original podcast we all know and love started out as an audio-only endeavor, but much like a fish with legs, it's evolved into something new. Brands want video for YouTube, clips for social, and a show that works across platforms. We approach podcast production the same way we approach everything we make: be prepared, have a smile on our faces, and use the right tools for the job. If you need a simple set up or multiple cameras, sexy lighting, and a dedicated crew you're in good hands. If you're already recording, adding video doesn't have to mean starting over. We can build it into your existing workflow."
Brands & marketing teams
You want a podcast that supports your brand strategy, not just fills a content calendar. We help you develop a show that won't elicit snores. Internal comms, customer-facing content; you know, corporate podcast production that actually understands your team or your audience.
b2b & professional services
Thought leadership may sound like a cliche but doing it right can be a huge bump for your reach. B2B podcast production is one of the best ways for your company, or key people, become the trusted voice of your industry.
agencies
If you're not a massive shop owned by one of the big six, you need a production or creative partner (perhaps both?) that gets what you do and doesn't need to be babysat. We'll handle all the logistics and run with it, or work in the shadows - your client, your call. Think of us less as a podcast production agency and more as your best friend who happens to be one.
nonprofits & organizations
You have stories that are important and need to be heard. A podcast gives you a platform to tell them in a way that connects with people, builds awareness, and helps you hit your goals from fundraising to community engagement.
If you're looking for the cheapest way to get a podcast out the door, or want someone to set it up and walk away, that's not how we work. We're a production partner, not a podcast vending machine.

We're not saying we won't produce a Loch Ness Monster true crime series, we're just saying we're better suited for helping companies and brands find a way to tell stories that entertain while having high production value.

THE FORTUNE 500 CLIENT
We were brought in on an existing internal communications podcast for a Fortune 500 company. The show had a season under its belt but needed better production processes, a tighter crew, and a higher bar for the final product. We manage the workflow, the production quality, and the story editing for every episode. We'd love to tell you more, but it's internal. If you're curious, ask.
