Podcast studio near Union Square.
In town for a conference, a keynote, or a client visit. Ten minutes by car separates your hotel lobby from our Union Square podcast studio.
From Union Square, our podcast studio is about 10 minutes by car. We record at 50 Francisco St, 3rd Floor, in Waterfront Plaza on North Beach's waterfront edge. Visiting speakers and teams book a session at $450 per hour, record in 4K with a dedicated engineer, and fly home with raw footage and separated audio already on their drive.
The visitor playbook
Land, record, fly home with files.
Book before you land
Pick a studio and a slot online. Rates are flat and public, so your session is confirmed before your flight boards.
Ride 10 minutes
A rideshare from any Union Square hotel reaches 50 Francisco St in about 10 minutes. Your driver drops you at the entrance.
Leave with everything
Raw 4K and a separated track per mic go onto your drive the same day. Zero files to chase after you fly out.
Union Square is where visiting speakers stay, and hotel rooms make rough recording booths. Ten minutes away, our engineer runs three broadcast cameras, Shure mics, lighting, and a teleprompter while you talk. Conference week is the natural moment: your panelists, clients, and co-speakers are all in the same city for 72 hours. Several guests in town at once is exactly the setup for our interview and panel recording sessions, with a mic and a track per person.
Prefer transit? The 30 Stockton bus runs from the Union Square area into North Beach, and the 8 and 45 also serve the Kearny St corridor near the studio. Budget planning is quick too: the studio cost calculator prices your session before you commit to anything.
For scripted sessions
A keynote take, without the keynote nerves.
