Podcast studio near Jackson Square.
A 12 minute walk from the brick offices to our Jackson Square podcast studio. Record an episode and keep your afternoon.
Our podcast studio near Jackson Square sits at 50 Francisco St, a 12 minute walk away. Follow Battery St north toward the waterfront and you arrive at a pre-lit set with three 4K cameras, Shure broadcast mics, and a dedicated engineer. An hour later you walk back with raw footage and separated audio on your drive.
Jackson Square holds more decision makers per block than almost anywhere in the city: design firms, venture funds, family offices, agencies in landmark brick. For those teams, our studio functions like a conference room with broadcast cameras. It sits 12 minutes away on foot, on North Beach's waterfront edge below Telegraph Hill.
The walk is flat and simple. Head north on Battery St toward the water and turn onto Francisco St, which runs between Kearny St and The Embarcadero. Zero parking, zero gear, zero setup. Investors from the neighborhood use the trip to record interviews and panels with founders, and partners batch a season of thesis content the way our VC and investor clients do: one afternoon, several episodes, files the same day.
