How much does podcast editing cost?

Podcast editing costs from $275 per episode for full audio production — editing, mixing, show notes and publishing. Video episodes are priced separately, and add-ons like episode art and social graphics are itemized on this page. Episode length, revision count and cadence move the number; we put a precise figure on it in one call.

What's included in audio episode editing?

Dialogue editing and clean-up, noise reduction, levelling and mixing, music placement, intro and outro, ad insertion, correct ID3 tagging, and one round of revisions. Up to 60 minutes per episode as standard.

What's included in video episode editing?

Multi-camera cutting, colour and audio sync, cinematic b-roll, closed captions, episode description and publishing. Video episodes are priced separately from audio because they're a different production.

Can I change how many episodes I publish each month?

Yes. Cadence is set month to month, and per-episode pricing means moving from two to four episodes costs exactly what the extra episodes cost.

Do you write the show notes?

Yes, and we write them against the keywords your audience actually searches — show notes are a search asset, not a formality.

Can you help with topics and guests?

Yes. Topic strategy is part of our growth work and guest booking is a service in its own right. Most produced shows use at least one of the two.

How fast is turnaround?

Three business days from receiving the file to the edited episode, and we hold that on weekly shows — the shows we run publish on a fixed day every week, which only works if post-production is predictable. Rush turnaround is available.

You do. Masters, project files and assets are yours, and they live in a shared drive you keep access to.

Most podcasts die in post-production

Not because the conversation was bad — because the work after the conversation is relentless. Editing, mixing, show notes, art, uploads, distribution, analytics: every week, forever. Shows stop when that workload stops being worth it. We take the whole back half so the only thing on your calendar is the recording.
