FAQ
What exactly is included in your done-for-you live video podcast service?
Our comprehensive service handles every aspect of your podcast production from start to finish. This includes pre-production planning and guest outreach, professional live remote video recording on a digital studio (Restream), real-time technical support during broadcasts, post-production editing and enhancement, episode distribution across all major platforms (YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.), creation of SEO-optimized show notes and blog posts, social media content creation and scheduling, and ongoing strategic consulting to maximize your ROI. You simply show up to record – we handle everything else.
How much time commitment is required from me each week?
Most clients spend approximately 30-45 minutes per episode on the actual recording, plus about 15-30 minutes for pre-show preparation and guest coordination (which we largely handle for you). Unlike traditional podcasting where hosts spend hours on technical setup, editing, and distribution, our done-for-you service means you focus solely on having great conversations with your guests. Many clients find they actually save time compared to their previous networking efforts since podcast interviews replace multiple coffee meetings and phone calls.
What if I'm not comfortable being on camera or don't consider myself a natural host?
This is one of the most common concerns we hear, and it’s completely normal. Our team includes experienced broadcast professionals who provide comprehensive host training and coaching. We’ll work with you on camera presence, interview techniques, and conversation flow before your first recording. Additionally, our live production team provides real-time support during recordings, including teleprompter assistance and gentle guidance through earpieces if needed. Most clients are surprised at how quickly they become comfortable and confident on camera.
How do you help me find and book high-quality guests for my show?
Guest acquisition is one of our core strengths. We develop a strategic list of your ideal clients, referral partners, and industry influencers, then handle all outreach and booking coordination. Our team has refined email templates and follow-up sequences that achieve significantly higher response rates than typical cold outreach. We also leverage our existing network and relationships to secure premium guests. You’ll approve all potential guests, but we handle the entire booking process, scheduling, and pre-interview preparation.
What technical equipment do I need, and how do you handle the live streaming technology?
You need minimal equipment on your end – just a reliable internet connection and a quiet space. Our technical team remotely manages the entire live broadcast, including switching between camera angles, managing graphics and overlays, monitoring audio levels, and handling any technical issues that arise. We also provide backup systems to ensure your show goes on even if there are unexpected technical problems.
How quickly can we launch my podcast, and what does the onboarding process look like?
Most clients launch within 4-6 weeks of signing up. The onboarding process includes strategy sessions to define your show’s positioning and target audience, creation of your custom intro/outro and show graphics, setup of all podcast hosting and distribution channels, technical equipment installation and testing, host training and practice sessions, and recording of your first few episodes. We handle applications to major podcast directories like Apple Podcasts, which can take 2-3 weeks for approval, so we factor this into our timeline.
How do you measure success and ROI for my podcast?
We track both traditional podcast metrics and business outcomes. Standard metrics include download numbers, audience growth, engagement rates, and platform performance. More importantly, we measure business impact through lead generation, client acquisition, speaking opportunities, media mentions, website traffic increases, and strategic partnership development. We provide monthly reporting that shows how your podcast is contributing to your business goals, not just vanity metrics.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a live recording?
We understand that business priorities can shift unexpectedly. We offer flexible rescheduling with at least 24 hours notice at no additional charge. For same-day cancellations due to emergencies, we work with you to find alternative solutions, such as converting to a solo episode or rescheduling with your guest for the earliest possible date. Our production team maintains backup content plans and can quickly pivot to ensure your publishing schedule remains consistent.
Can you help promote my podcast beyond just publishing episodes?
Absolutely. Promotion is a crucial component of our service. We create and distribute social media content across your preferred platforms, develop email marketing campaigns featuring podcast highlights, submit your show to relevant podcast directories and award competitions, coordinate cross-promotional opportunities with other podcasters in your network, create audiogram videos and quote graphics for social sharing, and develop strategies for leveraging podcast content in your broader marketing efforts. We also help you repurpose podcast content into blog posts, articles, and speaking topics.
What are your pricing options and contract terms?
Our pricing is structured to deliver exceptional value while ensuring we can provide the high-touch service quality our clients expect. We offer several package tiers based on recording frequency and additional services like guest booking and advanced promotion. Most clients start with our standard package, which includes bi-weekly episodes with full production and promotion services. We require a minimum initial commitment to ensure proper onboarding and momentum building, after which services continue month-to-month with 30-day notice for changes. We’re happy to discuss custom packages for unique requirements or higher-volume shows. Contact us for a detailed proposal tailored to your specific needs and goals.
