Season 2 Production Partnership
We find the story first.
Everything else follows from that.
We're used to taking deeply technical, complex subject matters and breaking them down in ways people actually understand. We build every episode with a relentless focus on listener value and respect for their time, and plug in as a real extension of your team. We already work with teams in Canada, including NationGraph and Chatbase.
A production partner
built for the full brief.
Your brief covers a lot: script feedback, guest sourcing, on-site recording, and full post-production, held to one consistent standard across 6 to 8 episodes. A small studio gives you more of that at once, a producer, an editor, and a shooter on the same brief, so no part of the season is riding on one person's calendar.
Our client NationGraph originally posted to hire a Founding Director of Media. We convinced them to embed our studio instead. It's going so well they just signed for a full year.
One team,
on every episode.
The same producer, editor, and on-site shooter from episode one to the last, so the season sounds consistent throughout.
Your production team
From script
to release.
Development & Script Consultation
Feedback on scripts and episode structure before recording starts, backed by research into the topic and how it's already being covered, so every episode has a clear angle before it has a guest.
- Script and outline feedback, episode by episode
- Topic research and competitor analysis to sharpen positioning
- Pacing and structure notes before recording
- Episode data reviewed throughout the season and fed into what comes next
Recording & Guest Coordination
Guest coordination: we shortlist guests against each episode's theme, handle outreach and scheduling, and track responses, so a full season's calendar of interviews doesn't sit entirely on your desk between episodes.
On-site recording: we're well versed in vox-pop street interviews, quick reactions cut in against the longer, more considered conversations that carry the episode, so it never feels like two mics in two different rooms.
- Guest shortlisting, outreach, and scheduling support
- Remote recording for the standard two-host interview format
- On-site days for streeters, vox pops, and location scene-setting (1 shoot day, up to 2 days)
Post-Production & Edit
Long-form interviews cut for pacing, not just content, so a 90-minute conversation becomes a 30-minute episode that never drags. Every episode is mixed and mastered to broadcast loudness standards for podcasts, consistent from the first release to the last.
- Full edit from raw interview to finished episode, cut for pacing, rhythm, and a relentless focus on listener value
- Mixed and mastered to platform loudness standards, consistent episode to episode
- Two rounds of revisions per episode included
Cut for Social
Every episode gets short-form cuts built for the platforms where a new audience actually finds a podcast for the first time.
- Short-form clips pulled from every episode
- Vertical format, captioned and ready to post
- Built to convert a scroll into a subscriber
Interview-driven work,
already shipped.
Embedded, not
at arm's length.
You're not handing episodes to a vendor and waiting. We run inside your workflow for the season, hands-on from kickoff through delivery.
Two ways to record it.
Same season, either way.
If both hosts can be in the same room, the in-person option covers it end to end. If not, the remote option covers the identical season at a lower cost, on-site days for streeters and location audio still included.

If Season 2 goes well,
Season 3 is easy.
The workflow and the archive are already built by then, so a next season moves faster and costs less to get started. A video cut of each episode for YouTube is also an easy add whenever you want it, same recording session, doubled distribution.
We'd love to discuss any of this further, and happy to adjust the scope if something here doesn't quite fit. This is simply what working together could look like.
