On the call
We talk through what the show is for, then work out the format, how often to publish, audio or video, and a rough scope. You leave with a price range, and there's no pressure to hire us.
ESTIMATE MY COST FIRST
When you're ready
Choose the services that fit, from editing only to a full launch. Payment comes before production starts, so your first episode isn't held up later.
After you sign up
You'll fill out your New Client Profile in the Resonate app, then hop on an onboarding call. We show you how to upload files, leave notes, and approve episodes.
8 to 12 weeks for a new show
New shows start the launch plan below. Shows that are already running can relaunch with a refreshed format, or upload their next episode to the app if all you need is post-production.
See the launch timeline
3 to 5 business days per edit
You review the episode, request any changes, and approve it. Then it goes live on your feed, posted by you or by us.

Why a podcast
Most business podcasts aren't chasing big download numbers. They're built to reach a specific group of people. Here are the jobs they do best.
A prospect can spend half an hour with your best people before anyone books a meeting. They hear how your team thinks, in your team's own voices.
A private show gives employees leadership updates, training, and team stories they can play on their phones, on shift or on the road.
Candidates get a real feel for your culture and the people they'd work with, before the first interview.
Members, customers, and partners get a reason to come back every week or two, and a way to hear from each other.
One recording can become video clips, a transcript, and social posts, so your experts' time goes further.
Is it right for you?
A podcast isn't the answer to everything. Here's an honest way to check, before you spend a cent.
You know who you want to reach, like buyers, employees, or members.
Someone on your team enjoys explaining what they know.
You can keep a steady schedule, even every other week.
You're happy to build results over months. 
You need leads this month. Paid ads usually move faster.
Nobody on your team wants to be on the mic.
You can't spare time to record and approve episodes. Our take: pick a schedule you can stick with. A show that runs every other week for a year beats one that goes weekly for six weeks and stops.

Step 5 for a new show
Our podcast launch takes most new shows live in 8 to 12 weeks. The pace depends mostly on how quickly approvals come back.
Weeks 1 to 2
We define your audience and settle the show name, format, and episode structure.
Weeks 2 to 4
Cover art, music, intro, and the trailer script come together and go to you for approval.
Weeks 4 to 7
You record your first episodes, and we produce them.
Weeks 7 to 10
Your trailer and first episodes go live on the major podcast apps.
Through week 12
We look at the first numbers with you and plan what comes next.
Setting up hosting and getting your feed into Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and the rest takes at least 2 weeks after you approve your launch content. That's built into the plan.
Step 5 for a show that needs a fresh start
If your show has stalled or no longer fits your goals, we can relaunch it. We audit what you have, refresh the creative, and bring the show back with a format built on our research.
We listen to your episodes and review how the show is set up today, from the format and episode structure to the artwork and titles. You'll see what's working and what isn't.
We update your creative assets, like cover art, music, and intro, so the show looks and sounds like the brand you are now.
Based on what our research turns up, we rework the format and bring the show back to your listeners with a clear plan for what comes next.

Step 5 if you only need post-production
If you're just looking for post-production, there's no launch to wait for. Once you're set up in the app, you can send your first episode for editing.
Day 0
You upload your recording, intro, and outro
Day 1
We review your files
Day 3
Basic and Plus audio, and Basic video, come back to you
Day 5

FAQ
Most business shows build over months, not weeks. We can’t promise numbers, and nobody honest can. We start with what a win looks like for you, then help you decide what to measure.
No. For most business shows, who listens matters more than how many. We plan the show around the people you want to reach.

Yes. We can relaunch it: we audit the show, refresh the creative assets, and bring it back with an updated format based on our research. If you only need editing, you can start with post-production instead.
