STEP. 1
PRE-PRODUCTION
Creating a podcast isn't as simple as hitting the record button and speaking into a microphone; it requires careful pre-production planning to ensure the result is a compelling and engaging audio experience. Here is our guide that we will use as we walk you through the pre-production steps for creating your fantastic podcast:
1) Define Your Podcast: The first step in pre-production is defining your podcast. We'll consider your topic, target audience, and the unique perspective or value you want to bring to the listener.
​
2) Format and Structure: We'll help you choose the format of your podcast. Will it be an interview-based show, a solo show, a panel show with multiple hosts, or a narrative podcast? We'll also need to consider the length and frequency of your episodes.
​
3) Script and Episode Planning: Even if your podcast is conversational, you should have a rough script or a solid outline for each episode to keep things on track. We'll help you identify critical points, questions, or segments that you'll cover in each episode.
​
4) Guest Selection: If your podcast involves guests, we can help you identify whom you would like to invite, why they would be a good fit, and what topics you'll discuss with them.
​
5) Branding your Podcast: We'll use our 20 years of experience in branding to help you in crafting your compelling podcast name, design a cover art, and write a catchy description to help you attract your target audience.
​
6) Recording Equipment and Software: We've got you covered! Our Phoenix-based state-of-the-art podcasting studio has all of the equipment you'll need to create a memorable and audience-gripping episode!

7) Recording Environment: We've also got you covered here! Our state-of-the-art podcasting studio based in downtown Phoenix, was designed with podcasting in mind. Our environment was crafted specifically to prevent unwanted noise and disruptive interruptions throughout our entire recording session.
​
8) Rehearse: Before hitting record, we'll help you do a few dry runs to familiarize yourself with your script or talking points, check audio levels, and ensure your equipment works properly.
​
Remember, pre-production may take some time and effort, but proper planning will make the production and post-production processes much smoother and result in a higher-quality podcast.
