Podcast Production

Podcast production for businesses and associations

The right conversations build trust faster than any ad. We help you plan, record and promote a show your audience wants to hear, so every episode keeps working for your business.

Why it matters

One conversation with months of content

A good podcast builds relationships with the people you most want to reach: customers, prospects, members, recruits and partners.  Every episode also becomes clips, articles, emails and social posts, so one recording keeps working long after it airs.

Our Pricing and Process

Every show follows the same path: strategy, production and post-production. Start with a launch, then keep it running month to month.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to start a business podcast?

With GC Strategies, strategy and production setup typically runs $2,500–$5,000 one time. Ongoing editing, clips and promotion runs $1,000–$3,000 a month depending on episode count and length. Gear and studio space are separate.

Do we need our own studio?

No. We can record on site at your office, in a studio, or remotely. If you want a permanent setup, we'll recommend gear and help you build it.

Audio or video podcast?

We recommend video. One recording publishes to YouTube, Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and gives you short clips for LinkedIn and Instagram.

How often should we release episodes?

It depends on your goals and capacity. We set a cadence your team can sustain during strategy, often two to four episodes a month.

Can you help us find and prep guests?

Yes. We can build the guest list, handle booking and scheduling, and run prep calls so guests know what to expect.

Can a podcast help with recruiting or membership?

Yes. Associations and employers use episodes and clips to show their people and expertise, which supports member recruitment, renewals and hiring.

Do you only produce, or can you coach our team to run it?

Both. We offer full-service production, or a hybrid or coaching model where your team runs recording and we handle strategy and post-production.
