— Stories you can hear coming.

Audio.

Audio is the most intimate medium. We treat it that way.

§ 01 — Premise

The branded podcast is the most-abused format in marketing. There's a reason — and a way around it.

Most branded shows fail the basic test: would anyone listen to this if they weren't being paid to. We produce shows that earn their downloads — reported limited series, interview programs with real preparation, and live tapings that double as events. Every show is built with a distribution plan that doesn't rely on you nagging your network to subscribe.

§ 02 — Formats

Four formats. One editorial standard.

Limited series

A defined-length, story-driven season — narrative arc, reporting, music, the works. Built for repeat downloads and a clean ending.

Length: 4 – 10 episodes
Timeline: 5 – 8 months

Interview shows

Recurring conversations with substance. Booked, prepped, and edited like the best of the form — not a Zoom call with a logo.

Length: 30 – 60 min / episode
Timeline: Weekly or biweekly

Live recordings

Conferences, salons, and on-stage interviews captured properly. The audio asset and the event share a back-of-house.

Length: Event length
Timeline: Per event

Sound design

Mix, mastering, original scoring, and audio direction for film and editorial projects that need a real sonic identity.

Length: Project-based
Timeline: 2 – 6 weeks

§ 03 — Process

How a audio project actually goes.

01
Format & arc
We start with the question the show is asking, then build the format that answers it. Pilots are pitched before they're produced.
02
Booking & prep
Guest research, briefing docs, and outline-first interviews. Our hosts read the work; our guests can tell.
03
Recording
In-studio, remote, or on location. Broadcast-grade capture and a producer in the room whose only job is the story.
04
Mix & launch
Cuts, scoring, mix, and a release plan that goes beyond the RSS feed. We treat the launch like a publication, not a post.

§ 04 — Questions

Things we get asked.

Do you handle distribution?: We set up the feed, deliver to all major directories, design the cover art, write the launch copy, and run paid promo where it makes sense. We don't pretend any of that replaces real audience-building work.
Can we host the show on our own site?: Yes. We deliver the master files, RSS, and any embeds you need. Most clients use a platform like Transistor or Simplecast and we'll set that up for you if you don't already have one.
What if our show needs a different host or co-host?: We cast hosts when the right person isn't already on your team. Talent is a feature of the show, not an afterthought.

§ 05 — Also

Other disciplines in the studio.

Stories told in moving image.

Film

Documentary, brand films, and short-form video. Cinematic storytelling for organizations whose work deserves a wider audience.

Stories that read.

Editorial

Longform journalism, op-eds, and brand reporting written by editors who actually read. Words that don't sound like a press release.

Stories that travel.

Social

Native, platform-fluent content that earns the scroll. We turn the long-form into clips, threads, and posts that travel.
