Complicated ideas, made clear · Names and terms checked against your glossary · Fixed quote for your grant budget
You run the interviews. I handle the podcast editing and post-production, and turn the recordings into finished episodes your department, funder or audience can rely on: clean sound, pacing that respects the material, and every name and term spelt the way you spell it.
Your listeners aren't in the room. They can't ask you to go back a step. So I cut the tangent that buries the point and tighten the answer that circles before it lands, and I leave the pauses that let a difficult idea settle. Nobody is reworded or made to say anything they didn't. The argument just reaches the listener without the clutter in front of it.
How many episodes, how long they run, and the date your funder or term cares about. You get a fixed quote you can put straight into a budget.
A short list of speaker names, institutions and specialist terms is enough. I spell everything from it, not from a transcription engine's best guess.

Academic shows run on the standard podcast packages. Most sit on Tier 2, Editorial, at £195 an episode for up to 90 minutes of raw recording, or £155 if the raw recording is under 45 minutes. Tier 1, Finalisation, is £95 and Tier 3, Strategic Production, is £495. Prices are ex-VAT. For a series, I quote the whole project up front. Other formats are on the podcast pricing page.
Editing is cutting the recording. Post-production is everything between the raw recording and a published episode: cleaning the audio, tightening the pacing, assembling intros and music, mastering to a consistent loudness, tagging the files and delivering them ready to upload. Every package includes the post-production. The tiers differ in how much editorial work goes into the conversation itself.
You send a short glossary of speaker names, institutions and specialist terms, and I check every episode against it. Nobody is reworded or made to say anything they didn't.
Finished episodes are delivered within 7 days of receiving your files, with one round of revisions included. Rush turnaround is available at +25%. More on how podcast post-production works.
