About this service

Summary

Your podcast deserves to sound as good as the ideas behind it.

Whether you’re launching your first show or refining an existing one, I’ll handle the technical side — editing, cleanup, mixing, and pacing — so you can focus on what you do best: having great conversations and sharing your voice.

With a background in film and sound design, I bring a storyteller’s ear to podcast editing. Every cut and fade supports the flow of your message. I’ll balance levels, remove distractions, and master your audio to broadcast standards, so your listeners stay fully engaged from the first second to the last.

FAQs

How fast is turnaround?
Most episodes (30–60 minutes) are ready within 2–3 business days. Faster delivery is possible for rush edits or weekly schedules.
Do you offer retainers for recurring episodes?
Yes! if you release weekly or biweekly, I offer reduced per-episode rates for consistent work. This keeps production smooth and deadlines predictable.
Can you help me launch my podcast from scratch?
Absolutely. I can assist with launch setup, show structure, publishing platforms, and branded audio assets.
How much does it cost to work with you?
Pricing can vary based on the scope of the project, plus additional add-ons, but here's an estimate: My podcast editing typically ranges from $4–6 per minute of finished audio (depending on the level of cleanup, pacing refinement, and sound design needed). Video-based podcast edits generally fall between $8–10 per minute. Every show is different, so I’ll confirm the exact rate once I see your recording quality, editing needs, and any creative requirements.

What's included

Edited & Mixed Episode
A fully edited, polished podcast episode — balanced, EQ’d, and mastered for Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your preferred platform. Using iZotope RX, I’ll remove background noise, plosives, clicks, and any other imperfections while keeping your voice natural and clear. Delivered as WAV and MP3 files, properly leveled to -16 LUFS (stereo) or -19 LUFS (mono) with true peak below -1 dBTP — ready for upload.
Two Rounds of Revisions
Collaboration is part of the process — you’ll have two rounds to share notes or timing tweaks. Quick-turnaround projects are welcome; we can adjust the feedback window if needed.
Intro/Outro & Music Integration
Seamless placement of your intro, outro, ad breaks, or theme music. Need music? I can compose or license tracks to match your tone for an additional one-time charge.
Optional Add-Ons
- Recording setup consultation (I can provide advice on video and audio) - Show Notes & Episode Descriptions - Social Media Clips or Teasers

I recruited Sam to craft sound design and compose original music for my audiobook. Sam created rich soundscapes and vivid sound design for the events and actions that truly brought the story to life. The project was lucky enough to have a rising movie and TV star as narrator, so I absolutely could not entrust this work to anyone. Sam delivered inspired and top-notch work, always ahead of schedule, and was so very pleasant to work with. I will 100% recruit Sam again come the next project!

I had a huge ask for Sam: six different genres for one cohesive story, and she delivered beautifully! Her understanding of music and film history, along with her incredible professionalism, made for a great collaboration. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a composition that elevates their story.
