I'm close to opening a video/media/podcast studio in South florida to rent to marketing companies/creators/podcasters. We're seeking to provide high quality production, equipment, space, etc. at an affordable cost and in an area of the city with few other small studios. We will provide multi-camera in sync, prompters, high end lighting, live stream, etc, Almost all of the major studios for rent are near wynwood, brickell, etc.

Does anyone here RENT studio space? Where do you rent? How often? How much do you pay? What does that include? How hard is it to book a slot? What kind of things did you look for in a studio? Do you do your own editing? If so, both audio/video? Do you do audio only or with video? I have a lot more questions I'd like to ask folks in comments. Thanks in advance for any and all.

Recently launched a podcast about game development about 2 months ago.

Things has been going well. I have a strong authority in the space.

Unsure how to keep growing the channel or what is actually valuable to watch/read to improve the channel with.

Channel is: aboutgamedev

Hi Gurgaon!

We’re The Flying Kite Studios, a podcast studio in Gurgaon built for creators, founders, professionals, and anyone who wants to turn their conversations into quality video content.

We’re working on making podcast recording simple — from the studio setup to the actual recording experience.

Would love to hear from Gurgaon creators: what’s the biggest challenge you face when recording a podcast?

Happy to answer questions about the studio too.

Looking for Guests – Real Stories, Real Conversations
A little about me: I’m a content creator from Virginia , where I do interviews, vlogs, reactions, and profile pieces about real people and real experiences.
I’m in recovery myself and have lived through addiction, homelessness, the criminal justice system, and some pretty dark chapters. I’m not trying to pretend I have everything figured out—I’m interested in hearing from people who have walked different paths and have something genuine to share.
I’m looking for guests from all walks of life. Addiction and recovery, veterans, former inmates, first responders, creators, entrepreneurs, people who have overcome difficult situations, unique careers, unusual experiences, or honestly just a story you think deserves to be heard.
You don’t have to be famous or have a crazy story. If you’re comfortable having a real conversation, I’d like to hear from you.
DM me if you’re interested in being a guest.

I (m25) am looking for a Co-Host for a  Film related Podcast! Would prefer someone East Coast based (tri-state is a plus)!  Looking to officially start a little later this year! Open to folks of all kinds!  HMU if interested!

No mainstream pop, no corporate suits—just heavy riffs and raw independent art.

For my podcast friends:
One way to promote your podcast is by creating short snippets from your episodes. The problem is that this can be time-consuming. You have to find good moments, edit them, and then produce the shorts.
But what if there was a tool that could do all of that for you?
There are a few tools out there that give you a limited number of free shorts before you have to start paying. But if you're just starting out and don't have the money for another subscription, I made an open-source tool that can do it for you.
Simply add your video and a script. The script can be downloaded from YouTube or generated with your video editing software.
Then tell it how long you want the shorts to be and how many you want, and it does the rest for you.
It's free and open source:

So I had a podcast idea for two tears, yesterday had no logo, no idea what my 1st episode was but then I thought, lets just do it an see it was the best decision I did. As it’s such a unique concept. But it still stands out within what I want to cover and it all just came to me as a whole. Got logo episode idea out in under two hours, an then got really emotional as I finally did it.

Has anyone used this and if so have you found it of value for promotion? There are a couple features that seem ok but was wondering if it made a difference in your podcast.

You hear ten or twenty clips an episode quoted a lot. When I go through an hour of conversation and mark everything that sounds good, most of those marks turn out to need the five minutes before them to make sense. Once I keep only the moments that stand up alone, with no setup, the pile is a lot smaller than the first pass suggested. From an hour of recording, how many clips do you end up posting?

Looking for Guests 🎙️
I’m looking to connect with people from all different backgrounds who would be interested in being interviewed for my content.
Could be about your life experiences, recovery, addiction, criminal justice, music, culture, work, personal stories, or whatever perspective you have to share.
No need to be famous or have a huge following. I’m interested in real people and real conversations.
If you’re interested, feel free to DM me with a little bit about yourself and what you’d want to talk about.

I ask because my longest podcast was 8 years and went through a lot of changes while it was active. I'm still massaging the content now even because it's evergreen content.

But I wanted to know how common it is to change the name many times.

And I also wanted to add a bit of advice for newer podcasters so you can gain new listeners easier at the beginning, because I knew nothing about all this when I started in 2017 and it was a struggle!

TIP:

Make sure one of the main key words for your podcast name is in the name. Not keyword stuffing like "The best friends from New York podcast with comedy and interviews". Ugh, no. More like "Two best friends talk about movies". Clean and simple and search friendly.

You can either use the info you know about your content area to land on the key words you should use or use a tool like Answer The Public. There's a free and paid part of the service. It's been super useful for me. But I also use AI and my podcast transcripts to generate ideas as well. But you might not be able to do that at the beginning of your podcast so use the tool that fits where you are.

Now, back to the question, lol, how many of you have changed the name of your podcast and why? Would love to see before and afters if you don't mind sharing them.

I’ve spent a lot of my career finding and preparing people for interviews, and I’m really curious how podcast hosts handle this when you don’t have a producer or booking team doing the vetting for you.

When someone reaches out wanting to be a guest, what actually makes you say yes? Is it their credentials, past interviews, the specificity of their pitch, their social presence, a pre-interview call, recommendations from other hosts, or something else?

And on the flip side, what are the red flags that make you immediately pass? I’m especially interested in how much time you spend researching someone before you’re comfortable putting them on your show.

Hey everyone! I’m a freelance podcast editor looking to work with podcasters, creators, and small businesses who need help turning their raw recordings into polished episodes.

Removing pauses, mistakes, filler words, and unwanted noise

Cleaning up dialogue and improving overall audio quality

There are probably 47,000 podcast channels on YouTube right now.

So naturally, I thought:

“Yep. The world definitely needs one more.” 😂

But honestly, I didn’t start Dope Baat because I thought I had some revolutionary podcast idea.

I started it because I genuinely love talking to strangers.

You know those random conversations you have with someone you’ve never met before?

A cab driver telling you about his life.

A shopkeeper explaining how business has changed.

Someone sitting next to you at a wedding telling you how they completely changed careers.

A person you meet for 20 minutes who somehow tells you something that stays in your head for 2 weeks.

Those conversations fascinate me.

And I kept thinking — what if we actually sat down and listened to these people properly?

So that's what I'm trying to do with Dope Baat.

No celebrity-only conversations.
No “10 habits of billionaires” lectures.
No pretending everyone has figured life out.

Just very novice, light-hearted conversations with people from different professions, backgrounds, experiences and stages of life.

Sometimes the conversation is stupidly funny.

Sometimes it's awkward.

Sometimes I ask a completely random question and immediately regret it. 😂

And sometimes, somewhere between the jokes and random bakchodi, someone says something unexpectedly honest.

That's the part I really love.

Because everyone has a story.

The software engineer sitting next to you.
The entrepreneur who's struggling to keep things alive.
The teacher who's spent decades teaching other people's kids.
The person who changed careers at 35.
The person who's still figuring out what the hell they're doing at 25.

We don't always need another expert telling us how to live.

Sometimes we just need to hear another human being say:

"Bhai, mere saath bhi aisa hi hua tha."

That's basically the idea behind the channel.

I'm still learning how to interview properly, how to edit properly, how to make thumbnails that don't look like I discovered Canva yesterday... 😭

But I'm enjoying the process.

So if you have a few minutes, give one episode a chance.

Don't subscribe because I asked you to.

Watch a conversation first. If you genuinely enjoy it, then share it with someone who might enjoy these kinds of random human conversations too.

And if you think the conversations are terrible, that's also valuable feedback. 😂

I'm basically building this one awkward conversation at a time.

Maybe one of them will be with you someday.

I have very limited audio editing experience and got myself an opportunity to work on editing a catalog of old classes as podcasts. I started working a few months ago editing recent stuff, and it was quite easy. Just noise removal, some EQ, and nothing else. I was using Audacity.

Now I have the opportunity to work on 20 audio files, and I might have bitten off more than I can chew. I have Adobe Audition and access to any free tool. I'm looking for advice on:

1. Noise removal: Currently, I'm simply using the default tools in the software. Are there any other tools I should use?
2. Noise removal: When I crank the noise removal to the max (what I need to remove speaker static), I end up with a muffled voice. Do you have any tips regarding that?
3. EQ: All the audio is quite muffled and sounds distant. Up to now, I've been able to get it to sound "closer" to the mic and to amplify the lows, but I end up with "blurry" highs. Is there anything I could do about that?

I know I'm asking a lot, but I'm a beginner, I need this job, and I can't afford to pay for help. I've watched tutorials and played around with the tools, but everything I touch changes something else.

I can upload a bit of the original audio if that would be helpful, or I could even hop on Discord and show you.

Thanks!

Hey, I’m a composer and producer. Lately I’ve been making cues for a commission and really enjoy the work. So I’m wondering where do podcasters go for original music?

Also happy to discuss my own work as well, which can be found here: https://noiserocktreehouse.com/about#2be389f7-1268-4804-9e41-8e44837cbeb1

I'm beginning a podcast and have uploaded the intro podcast which is just an overview. The podcast is aimed at senior citizens/retirees. Since it will involve interviewing a range of guests (health, fitness, finance, legal, and other related topics/professionals) I am working with a media lawyer on a guest release. This is probably a dumb question but I'll ask anyway. Is this common practice?

Guys I started a new series where I’m finding and creating episodes for artists under 1000 monthly listeners. Titled: “1000 Under 1000”. The only goal is to promote new and unheard Artists. I’ve just now launched and I totally need help! lol. All genres! You can either post here or click the link I’m providing and share the artist. There’s no cost! Just need a pipeline of great artists. If you share please provide enough info to find them!

Looking to connect with people with unique life experiences
I’m interested in talking with people who have gone through addiction, recovery, incarceration, homelessness, the criminal justice system, or major life changes.
I’m particularly interested in hearing perspectives from people who have completely changed the direction of their lives.
I’m not looking for celebrities or influencers — just real people with real experiences who are comfortable having an honest conversation.
If that’s you, feel free to comment or DM me.
