Describe the show
What it’s called, how often it airs, who sits at the mics and where. Kitchen table, a closet full of winter coats, three cities on a video call — all of it helps.
00:00:00 — Contact · Staten Island, NY
Call the desk. We’ll listen, then tell you the price.
Fifteen minutes on the phone, headphones already on. Paste a raw-file link while we talk — we’ll play a minute of it, name what we hear (the fridge, the slap off bathroom tiles, the guest who leans away from the mic) and give you a per-episode number before the call ends.
By appointment — book a call. If the phone rings mid-mix, the headphones stay on until the passage ends; we ring you back within a working day.
00:01:10 — The first call
Fifteen minutes, laid out on the timeline
Two tracks, like any session: you on one, us on the other. This is roughly how the first call plays back — the regions overlap, because good conversations do.
Open your raw link and press play
A minute of untouched tape, out loud, while you’re still on the line. We name what we hear: the hum under the host, the slap off a bare wall, levels riding hot enough to crackle.
Name the snags
The guest who talks over the outro, the launch date that won’t move, the minute you already know has to go.
Quote, then pick a Monday
A per-episode number — $185 for a Clean cut, $340 for the Full episode folder — and the Monday your first files land on the desk.
No raw link yet? Call anyway. A good description of the room — carpet or tile, one mic or four — gets us most of the way to a number.

Which line to use, and what answers it
Every line ends at the same desk on Warren Street. Choose by what you’re holding: a question, a folder of WAVs, a 2 a.m. idea, or a coffee you’d rather drink beside the monitors.
| Line | Best for | What answers | Link |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phone(718) 833-3606 | A first quote, a file you’re nervous about, anything with a launch date pinned to it. | The editing desk itself. Mid-mix, a call back within a working day. | Call the desk |
| Emailprojects@kalliopeaudiogroup.com | Raw-file links, cut lists with timestamps, invoice questions you want in writing. | A written reply within a working day, with the next step spelled out plainly. | Write an email |

Write it down — we read notes with the first coffee
If the phone feels like too much today, a few lines will do. These six details turn a note into a quote, so the reply carries a number instead of more questions.

Ring before you ring the bell
Most shows never visit — their tape travels by link and comes back by Friday. When a kickoff at the desk makes sense, it’s by appointment: call first, and the monitors will be warm when you arrive.
