Podcast Audio Production

Here are examples of podcast audio projects I’ve worked on, showcasing my expertise in transforming raw remote recordings into professional-quality productions. The “before” clips feature unprocessed audio recorded by clients using a range of equipment, often with varying quality. In the “after” clips, I’ve applied advanced editing techniques in Adobe Audition, leveraging high-end plugins to enhance vocal clarity, reduce echo and background noise, and elevate subpar microphone recordings. The result is polished, dynamic audio that ensures every voice is clear, engaging, and broadcast-ready.

Podcast Intro & Outro Themes

I composed the introductory music for our in-house podcast, Vibe Science. By blending digital soundscapes with ambient, atmospheric effects, I aimed to capture the unique intersection of science and spirituality that defines the show. Additionally, I created customized variations for ad breaks and sound effects

Right About Now Intro

This intro was created by sampling Pearl Jam’s “Animal” and Fat Boy Slim’s “Rockafeller Shank” and combining them together.

Podcast Video Production

As Technical Producer, I was responsible for upgrading our in-house podcast studio into a more polished and professional space. When I started, the studio needed significant improvements, as shown in the "before" photo. One of my first steps was optimizing the host’s positioning and making adjustments to the lighting, which helped enhance the look and feel of the space. Working within the limitations of a small room required resourcefulness and creative problem-solving to make the most of what was available.

Later, I had the chance to design a larger studio from scratch. I installed studio lights and compact panel lights for highlights and catchlights, added a large TV as a backdrop, and used RGB DMX-controlled lighting to allow for flexible branding and customization.

While most podcasts were recorded virtually using Riverside, the studio was also designed to accommodate in-person recordings, with customizable lighting and branding options that made it adaptable to different production needs. The result was a well-designed, versatile studio that met both creative and technical demands.
