Podcast Production in Hout Bay — the craft

Episode delivery and cross-platform publish

Every episode ships as a 4K video master for YouTube, an isolated stereo audio master for Spotify and Apple Podcasts, a WAV bundle of the isolated stems for archive, the vertical clip pack for socials, an episode cover still and a guest headshot from the shoot day. Where the client wants us to publish for them, we handle Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and YouTube uploads via Buzzsprout or Transistor and set the show notes from a template. RSS integration and analytics review can be added as a monthly retainer.

Audio quality is non-negotiable

The single biggest reason a video podcast fails to grow an audience is bad audio. Every session runs through a Zoom F6 field recorder capturing four channels — host lav, guest lav, host shotgun, guest shotgun — with 32-bit float so we cannot clip even if the guest laughs into the microphone. We keep an air conditioner check in the pre-shoot walk-through because a rattly split unit at Sandton or Constantia can ruin a two-hour recording. Post-production runs a full editorial audio pass — silence trim, room-tone match, EQ, light noise reduction, mastering — before the episode leaves the timeline.
