FAQ
What podcast production services do you offer?
Podlad provides professional podcast production services for founders, brands and organisations who want a reliable partner for their podcast.
Services include:
• podcast editing and post production
• full podcast production and show management
• podcast strategy and format development
• video podcast editing for YouTube
• show notes, transcripts and SEO content
• reels and promotional assets
Some clients simply hire me for podcast editing services. Others work with Podlad as a full podcast production partner where I help shape the show and manage the entire process.
Where is Podlad based?
I am a podcast producer based in Dublin, Ireland, but most of the podcasts I produce are recorded remotely.
I work with podcast clients across Ireland, the UK, Europe, the United States, Canada and Australia.
Remote podcast production works extremely well today and allows clients to record high quality conversations from anywhere in the world.
Who will I be working with?
When you work with Podlad you work directly with me.
Podlad is not a large podcast production agency where projects are passed between different people. I work closely with each client as their podcast producer so that the strategy, editing and creative decisions stay consistent.
That personal relationship is one of the reasons many clients prefer working with a dedicated podcast producer rather than a large production company.
Do you offer podcast editing services only?
Yes.
Some clients already record their own podcast and simply need professional podcast editing services.
In those cases I take the raw recordings and handle:
• audio cleanup
• removing mistakes and long pauses
• mixing and mastering
• adding intros, music and transitions
This ensures every episode sounds polished and professional before it is published.
Do you also edit video podcasts?
Yes.
Many podcasts now have both an audio version and a video version for YouTube. I edit podcast videos so that the conversation flows well on screen while still working as an audio podcast.
Video podcast production often includes:
• multi camera editing
• clips and short form video
• YouTube thumbnails and titles
• formatting for different platforms
How much do podcast production services cost?
Podcast production costs vary depending on the level of support required.
Some clients only need technical podcast editing, which is typically priced per episode.
Other clients prefer a more comprehensive approach where I act as their dedicated podcast producer and manage the full production process.
That can include strategy, editing, publishing and long term podcast development.
The best way to understand pricing is to have a short conversation about your podcast and what support would be most useful.
What type of podcasts do you work on?
I work on a wide range of podcasts, but most projects fall into one of these categories:
• founder and entrepreneur podcasts
• business and thought leadership podcasts
• interview and conversation based podcasts
• branded podcasts for companies and organisations
The most important factor is that the podcast has a clear audience and purpose.
Can a podcast help my business grow?
Yes, but it depends on how the podcast is designed.
For many businesses a podcast works best as a way to build relationships, share expertise and create long form content that builds trust with the right audience.
The most successful business podcasts focus on meaningful conversations rather than trying to chase large download numbers.
Do I need expensive equipment to start a podcast?
No.
Many new podcasters spend far too much money on equipment before they even record their first episode.
I usually recommend starting with simple equipment and focusing on the quality of the conversation. If needed I can help you choose a microphone and recording setup that works well for your space and budget.
Do I need a podcast studio?
No.
Most podcasts today are recorded remotely using tools like Riverside or Zoom.
With the right microphone and recording setup you can achieve excellent sound quality from a home office or quiet room.
Can you fix poor audio recordings?
To some extent, yes.
Professional podcast editing can reduce background noise, balance audio levels and improve clarity.
However, some recordings are beyond repair. If you send a sample of your audio I am happy to test it and show you how much it can be improved before you commit to the service.
How long does podcast production take?
Most podcast editing projects are delivered within one to two days.
If you need a faster turnaround this can usually be arranged depending on the schedule.
How do I send podcast files to you?
Most clients use:
• Google Drive
• Dropbox
• WeTransfer
Any of these work well for transferring raw podcast recordings.
Can I request revisions?
Yes.
Revisions are a normal part of podcast production. If something needs adjusting after the first edit, that can usually be done quickly.
How do I get started?
The easiest way to start is a short conversation about your podcast.
Whether you are launching a new show, improving an existing podcast or looking for a podcast production partner, the goal of the call is simply to understand what you want the podcast to achieve and see if working together would make sense.
