What shapes podcast production costs
Podcast production costs come down to six decisions about your show. They’re the same questions we ask when we scope a partnership, so you can get a feel for where your show sits before we talk.
Episode length
A 30-minute conversation and a 90-minute deep dive are different amounts of editing, so length is the first thing we look at.Video or audio
Video adds cameras, angles and visual pacing on top of the audio edit. Audio-only shows cost less to produce.How often you release
Weekly, fortnightly or a season recorded in one go. Release frequency sets the volume of work each month.How many clips
Clips for Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts are cut and captioned per platform, so the number per episode moves the price.Which parts we run
Editing only, or the whole process: titles, thumbnails, SEO show notes and publishing. Keep any part in-house if you like.Where it goes live
YouTube packaging, podcast apps and social each need their own versions. More destinations means more deliverables.A custom price, built around your show & needs
A fortnightly audio show and a weekly video podcast with daily clips are very different amounts of work. A fixed price list would mean overcharging one or underdelivering for the other.
So we scope every show and price it per partnership. You get one number that covers everything we’ve agreed, with no lock-in contract, and the plan can grow with the show.
Podcast episodes produced.
After producing 3,000+ podcast episodes, we’ve learned that consistency doesn’t come from working harder every week. It comes from having a process that works every week.

Freelancers vs a production partner:
comparing podcast production costs
Separate freelancers can look cheaper per task. The cost shows up in your time: briefing, chasing and
filling the gaps. A production partner prices the whole job once, so what you pay is what it takes.
Hiring freelancers
A rate per task, plus the hours you spend holding it together.
- Separate rates for editing, design and clips to add up
- Your time spent briefing, reviewing and chasing each person
- Extra rounds when one person’s work doesn’t match another’s
- Gaps to fill yourself when someone is unavailable
- A cost that’s hard to predict month to month
