Podcast studio near Hayes Valley.
15 minutes by car, or one Muni ride and the F streetcar to our Hayes Valley podcast studio. Broadcast polish for a neighborhood that cares how things look.
From Hayes Valley, our podcast studio at 50 Francisco St is about a 15 minute drive, or one Muni ride to Market St and a short F streetcar hop up the waterfront. You record on a pre-lit broadcast set with three 4K cameras, Shure mics, and a dedicated engineer, then leave the same day with every file.
Hayes Valley runs on taste. The boutiques, the studios, the brands built out of apartments on Linden and Hayes: everything is considered. That standard is exactly why creators from the neighborhood cross town to record here. A phone on a tripod reads as a draft. Three broadcast cameras, live-switched, read as a show.
The trip is shorter than most people expect. Fifteen minutes by car puts you at Waterfront Plaza in North Beach. By transit, any Muni line to Market St connects to the F streetcar, which runs up The Embarcadero to the Greenwich St stop, about a 4 minute walk from our door.
What you get for the trip is a different grade of output. Our video podcast recording setup switches cameras live, so the edit is nearly done when you stop talking. Add editing and post-production at $595 per episode and you publish broadcast-grade material with zero software on your side. If you are comparing rooms around the city first, our guide to the best podcast studios in San Francisco lays out the options side by side, including ours.
