Neighborhood · Mission District · one BART ride away
Podcast studio near the Mission District.
Mission creators already have the voice and the audience. We supply the podcast studio, one BART ride up the line.
From the Mission District, our podcast studio is a short BART ride away: 16th St or 24th St to Embarcadero Station plus a walk or F streetcar puts you at 50 Francisco St, 3rd Floor, in about 30 minutes. Driving takes about 18 minutes off peak. We record with a dedicated engineer on every $450 per hour session and files on your drive the same day.

The bedroom-studio ceiling
A Mission District podcast studio, where broadcast starts.
Plenty of great shows started in a Mission apartment. The ceiling shows up around episode ten: echoey rooms, single angles, and evenings lost to editing. Here is the same hour, both ways.
| The hour | Apartment setup | Our studio |
|---|---|---|
| Picture | One webcam or mirrorless angle | ✓ 3 broadcast cameras, live-switched in 4K |
| Sound | Room echo, one shared track | ✓ Shure broadcast mics, a separated track per voice |
| Your role | Host, engineer, and IT desk at once | ✓ You talk. A dedicated engineer runs everything. |
| Afterwards | Nights of syncing and cleanup | ✓ Same-day files, or an edited episode for $595 |
