Podcast studio near Fisherman's Wharf.
A 15 minute walk along the waterfront from Pier 39 to our podcast studio near Fisherman's Wharf. Record while you are in town and fly home with every file.
Our podcast studio near Fisherman's Wharf sits at 50 Francisco St, a 15 minute walk along the waterfront from Pier 39. Visiting creators and teams record on a pre-lit 4K set with a dedicated engineer, then leave with raw footage and separated audio the same day. Open Mon to Sat, 8am to 8pm.
Thousands of people wake up near Fisherman's Wharf every morning, and a surprising number of them run podcasts, YouTube channels, and companies back home. A trip to San Francisco is a recording opportunity. Fifteen minutes down the waterfront from Pier 39 sits a full broadcast studio with an engineer, and the hotel is close enough to walk back for lunch.
Visitors use the studio in two ways. Some book a single hour to capture an episode with a Bay Area guest while both people are in the same city. Others take a Creator Day from $1,200 and batch a quarter of episodes and course lessons before the flight home. If your co-host stayed behind, remote guest recording dials them into the broadcast room feed with clean audio on both ends.
Everything is included at one flat rate: $450 per hour covers the engineer, three live-switched 4K cameras, Shure mics, and same-day file delivery. The line-by-line breakdown lives on our what's included page.
