Guide · Formats

A podcast series, planned as a whole.

A series has a beginning and an end. That makes it easier to promise, easier to finish and easier for new listeners to start.

What the format is

A fixed set of related episodes released in order, often around one theme or question.

How an episode is shaped

A structure that tends to work:

Decide the number of episodes before recording.
Make the first episode a clear entry point.
Plan the arc and the links between episodes.
Record all or most before releasing.

What production involves

Producing a series as a batch gives a consistent sound and a clear schedule, and finishing before release avoids missed dates.

Common intro, music and loudness.
A release plan and artwork for the whole season.
Time for a review before episode one goes live.

How radio.app produces it

You record; we make the podcast. We clean and level the voices, build the intro and sound, edit the podcast series format to your structure and deliver finished episodes to one loudness standard. See the production process and the plans.

Questions

Questions, answered.

How many episodes should a series have?

Enough to cover the theme and no more. Six to ten is common for a business series, but your topic decides.

Can you produce this format for us?

Yes, we produce finished episodes from your recordings. Tell us the format, length and how often you plan to publish, and we will propose scope and timing.
