Podcast Services

The following information describes Podcast Support services available from GLD Enterprises Communications, Ltd. Every project is different, so call us at 937-902-4857 and we will create a plan that’s right for you!

Purpose & Branding

One of the first things to ask before beginning a podcast series is, “What is the purpose of the podcast?” We will begin with a consultation meeting to determine why you want to do a podcast, discuss the intended audience, and how it will be branded. 

Topic & Content Development

Often the hardest question, “What will we talk about?” We will help you with two of the most important aspects of podcasting – the development of the topics and the format. For example, are you just reading a blog aloud to accompany a text posting? Or, are you being interviewed by one of our on-air talent as the “expert” in your field? You also have to nail down whether each podcast is stand-alone or part of an ongoing series, connected by some component of the content. We will help you figure out all of these details and guide you toward the best options for your goals.

Recording/Engineering/Editing

On-Site Recording Option: We will host you at our studio for a podcast recording session. 

Off-site Recording

We will bring our portable studio to your location at your convenience to record and engineer the podcast for you. Our producer will set everything up and prepare you for the recording. Once it’s recorded, we will edit the material adding extra sounds and music as requested.

DIY Recording

We will provide you with links to equipment options for self-recording and coaching on how to get good sound quality from your recording environment and the equipment that you are using.

Podcast Hosting

We do not host the podcast, this is handled on a third-party cloud system so that you have complete control and ownership of the content and its distribution. We will get it set up for you and manage it for the duration of our involvement in your podcasting program. This service is billed on your credit card directly from the hosting service.

Marketing / Distribution

Once you have a podcast, you need to get it out to your audience. We help you with this in a number of ways, depending on your budget and the audience you’re trying to reach, whether the podcast is to be monetized (charging money for it), or are simply using it for additional expert content to promote your organization. We will create a plan to help you get your content in front of the right audience to meet your goals. 

The following are the current pre-packaged project plans we offer. However, if we do not have a package that includes exactly what you need, we will create a custom Project Package just for you.
