Virtual Recording

Record with us remotely from the comfort of your own space. We meet online in our virtual recording program, set up your recording for each episode, then render and download your episode for you as soon as you finish recording, then handle post-production (audio editing and mastering) too.
Post-Production Only

The DIY option. Record your own episodes with guidance from our technical consultation and best practices resources. Send over your files to us at Story Darling Studios and we'll take care of all the post-production for you. You’ll receive tightly edited episodes optimized for easy listening.

Visuals & Media Kit

Looking for polished imagery to make a strong first impression and a thoughtful strategy when positioning your amazing podcast?

Here’s what we offer:

Creative Consultation. We chat with you about your goals and intentions and suggest a tailored visual strategy and positioning we can offer you.

Headshots. Whether you plan to use a portrait of yourself in your podcast art, on your website, or simply on socials, we guarantee that you will need headshots to accompany your launch and ongoing promotion of your show. We can host you in our studio and create some beautiful images.

Lifestyle Photography. When you’re ready to create some more images of you to fill out your media kit (see below) or add a really professional look to your website, we offer lifestyle photography of you in your podcasting element (at the mic!) or doing something related to the subject matter of your show.

Brand Development. We work closely with our colleague Nicole Winski Creative to provide comprehensive design services so your branding is aligned with your podcast’s themes, content, and goals.

Media Kit. As your podcast grows, you’ll need a media kit to send out to prospective sponsors, requests from press and other media who would like to profile your show, or to send out when pitching yourself as a guest to other podcasts. We can make this for you!

Podcast Marketing

Using Sarah’s extensive knowledge about all things podcasting and Dallas’s background in marketing, we can create a straightforward and easily implementable podcast marketing plan for you.
