Editing is one stage.
This is the whole show.
The radio production house, rebuilt for companies. What a station does for its own programmes, done for yours.
Audio imaging
The idents, stings and transitions that tell a listener whose show this is before anyone speaks. It is what a radio station sounds like between the voices.
Jingles and a theme of your own
Music made for your show, so every episode opens the same way and listeners know it is yours. Podcast intro music.
Mixed to broadcast standard
Every episode measured at −16 LUFS integrated and never above −1 dBTP, so it plays at the level podcast apps expect. Podcast LUFS.
Professional voices
Trained voices for the intro, the idents and the imaging, so the show sounds produced from the first second.
Cuts for social media
Short clips cut from each episode to carry the conversation onto the feeds where your audience already scrolls. Podcast trailer.
A team with a broadcast background
People who learned their craft making radio: timing, levels and a running order that holds attention.

Questions
Pricing questions, answered.
If yours is not here, ask it on the call and we will answer in writing.
How much does podcast production cost with radio.app?
A pilot episode is $2,500, a season of six episodes is $9,900 and an ongoing show is $3,900 a month for four episodes. Each episode runs up to 30 minutes. Prices are in USD and exclude taxes.
Why does one episode cost more than an editing service?
Because editing is only one stage. The pilot includes the show concept, a theme and transitions, scoring, mixing and mastering to −16 LUFS and −1 dBTP, and two cuts for social media: the parts that make a show sound produced.
What do we need to provide?
The host, the guests and a usable recording. You decide what the show is about; we produce everything you hear.
What is not included in any plan?
Travel, filming, guest booking and audience acquisition. Space messaging also excludes music licensing and hardware.
How does the monthly commitment work?
The Show plan and the monthly projects have a 3-month minimum. After that they continue month to month.
Which plan should we start with?
Start with Episode if you want to hear your show before committing. Choose Season for a series with a start and an end, and Show for a programme that keeps publishing every month.
Who owns a sonic identity we commission?
Rights and exclusivity for a sonic identity are agreed in writing before the work starts, as part of the proposal.
