Audio Only Podcasts:
For audio only podcasts, we recommend you allow approximately 15 to 20 minutes upon arrival to be ready to record. Our engineers will walk you through the setup and answer any questions you may have.
Once you are ready to go, we’ll hit record, and you will be left in privacy to record your podcast. If you need any help, an engineer is on site and just a quick call or text away.
Note that for future bookings, you may only need 5 to 10 minutes to be ready to record.
Audio & Video Podcasts:
For audio & video podcasts, we recommend you allow approximately 30 minutes upon arrival to be ready to record. If it’s your first time recording a podcast at Glendale Podcast Studio, we recommend you allow for an additional 15 minutes. Our engineers will have your setup ready for you, set camera angles with you, and leave you in privacy to shoot your podcast. We are able to monitor your podcast remotely in our Control Room to ensure everything is running smoothly.
Note that for future bookings, you may only need 10 to 15 minutes to be ready to record.
Remember, nobody likes to feel rushed. We want you relaxed and ready to create amazing content.
