How does the review process work?
We provide you back with the finished audio file, show notes, and marketing assets for you to review. If you have anything you want to change, just let us know via email.
How many rounds of revisions can I request?
We will always work with you until you're 100% satisfied with an episode. The limiting factor is typically that more revisions mean more time, which could delay the release of your episode. Our goal is to limit to one round of revisions per episode.
How long can episodes be?
We assume episodes will be between 20 and 60 minutes recorded length. Much more than that and there may be a slight price adjustment to cover the additional time spent on each episode.
What do the show notes look like?
Here’s an example of the show notes we produce for existing clients: Actionable Marketing Podcast.
I just recorded an episode and it sounds like I'm inside a trashcan, can you save me?
Our audio engineers are amazing, but they still abide by the laws of physics. The best way to get ultra-high quality audio in the end is to record high quality audio in the beginning, then our team makes it that much better. We can do a lot with a bad recording, but it may have its limits.
How much does it cost?
Episodes are $175 per episode, or $699 per month for weekly episodes. This includes audio editing, show note writing, 2-3 audiograms, 2-3 tweetable quotes, publishing to your Castos account, and analytics and rankings tracking each month.
What is the Productions team like?
The Castos Productions team is made up of production managers who handle scheduling and communication, full-time audio engineers with radio and music industry backgrounds, show note writers, and a staff of transcriptionists who transcribe episodes by hand.
How do you handle content edits?
By default our audio team removes obvious mis-speaking errors, umms, ahhs, and awkward pauses. If you have pieces of content you’d like removed, send that information via email when you submit your episode, or use an audio cue like "Hey Castos team, please take that last part out" during the recording.
What is included in the free episode?
Everything: audio editing, show note writing, marketing asset creation, and publishing. All we need are the audio assets for your show.
I'm just starting out, can you help me launch my show too?
Yes. Our launch package includes a content planning and strategy session, a podcasting microphone and recording setup delivered to you, the first 3 episodes fully produced, cover art, voiceovers, and royalty-free music sourcing, plus a launch strategy session with our founder.
What languages are the services available in?
Currently we support both English and Spanish language production. If you'd like another language, let us know.
