Upload the tape the way it fell off the recorder — the coughs, the doorbell, the guest who said “sorry, can I start that again?” three times. It comes back one clean episode, levelled and mastered, with the notes and the clips waiting in the same folder.
The same order every time, at the same desk on Warren Street. Here’s what each stage does to your tape, what it sounds like once it’s done, and where it sits in the price.
We listen at speaking speed and cut by ear: false starts, crosstalk, the second “so, anyway.” A pause that carries weight stays where it fell; a stumble that loses the thread quietly goes. The minutes on your cut list vanish before the rough cut reaches you.
A conversation that moves the way you remember it moving.
In every rateClean cut from $185 per episode
Ask how your tape cuts →Fridge hum, laptop-fan hiss, the wet click of a mouth too close to the mic, a “p” that thumps like a knuckle on a table. Spectral repair lifts them out one at a time — never a blanket noise gate that leaves voices sounding like they’re underwater.
Room tone so quiet you notice the voice, not the room.
In every rateHeavier rescue from $75 — see below
How bad is too bad? →Voices levelled against each other, so nobody leans in for the quiet guest. Gentle EQ for warmth, compression you never hear working, the intro tucked under your first word and the outro rising out of your last.
The same loudness in a car on the Expressway as in earbuds on the ferry.
In every rateIntro and outro placed from $185
Talk loudness on the phone →A written page that reads like your show sounds: a short summary, timestamps that land on the right sentence, every link the guest promised to send. Chapter markers go inside the MP3 itself, so listeners can skip straight to the part they came for.
Tidy chapters in the podcast app, each one titled in your words.
Full episode, $340Also in every Series run episode
See it in the comparison →Two moments we’d want to hear again, cut to under a minute. Captions burned in and proofed word by word — names spelled right, the joke timed to land on screen — with a waveform drawn in your show’s colours.
A clip that still makes sense with the sound off on a crowded train.
We fill in the title, the description, the artwork and the chapter file on your podcast host — in your account, under your name — and set the episode to drop at the minute you choose.
Nothing, until the notification lands on your own phone.
In Series runSingle episodes $26 each
Hand us the upload →Every rate covers up to sixty minutes of raw tape — the hour you talked, not the hours we spent in headphones. The difference is what else is waiting in the folder when you open it.
Clean cut if your room already sounds good and you just want the tape tidied and polished.
Full episode if you’d like to post the same afternoon the folder lands.
Series run if a season should sound like one long piece, episode one to eight.

Every editor eventually gets the episode recorded in a stairwell. Here’s what we can do with the usual damage — told straight, before anyone pays for anything.
A steady drone under every word.
The “p” and “b” that hit the mic like a fist.
Every sentence trailing off the backsplash.
The guest who turns robot for half a second.
Too loud for the preamp, flattened at the top.
Recorded from across a table, thin and boxy.
From $75 on top of the rateQuoted after one listen. If it can’t be saved, we’ll say so and charge nothing.
Send us the worst five minutesAdd any of these to any rate. Invoiced with the episode they belong to — mention them on the call and they’re on the quote before we hang up.
$145 per 90-minute session
We sit in on your recording over the call, headphones on the whole time. We’ll stop you when a guest’s laptop fan spins up, when someone drifts off-mic, or when an answer deserves a second take — so the edit later has less to fix.
