Podcast studio near Nob Hill.
An 8 minute ride down the hill to a full-service podcast studio at 50 Francisco St. Engineer included, files on your drive the same day.
Our podcast studio near Nob Hill sits at 50 Francisco St, an 8 minute ride away. Ride down to the waterfront, record a 4K video podcast with a dedicated engineer running cameras, audio, and lighting, and head back up the hill with raw footage and separated audio on your drive the same day.
Nob Hill sits high above the city. Our studio sits below it, on North Beach's waterfront edge at Francisco St between Kearny St and The Embarcadero. The trip between the two is an 8 minute ride, almost all of it downhill, and it ends at a pre-lit set with an engineer already in the room.
That geography matters if you live or work on the hill. Hauling cameras, mics, and light stands up and down Nob Hill is a workout. Riding down with a script and a jacket is a commute. Executives, authors, and residents from the hill book our video podcast recording sessions, record for an hour or two, and are back on California St before lunch.
Comms teams use the same trip to bank a quarter of executive thought leadership video in a single hour of studio time. The full line-item breakdown of a session lives on our what's included page, and every rate is public on the studio pricing page.
