A custom solution for your association’s podcast is here. Whether you plan to:

launch a podcast,
revitalize a podcast that’s gone dormant,
or improve your existing podcast…

Association Podcast Studios (APS) — presented by Clear Contender — has you covered.

We’ve successfully launched and grown several association podcasts. When done right, podcasting can be a cost-effective, efficient way to engage your audience and grow your outreach. Local to Maryland? You can use our podcast studio in Towson!

Whether delivering member news, government relations reports, or repurposing existing content, we’ll work with you to carefully plan a content calendar and automate your podcasting. We'll find a custom solution to ensure you’re publishing great podcasts on a regular basis in the most automated way possible.

Association Podcast Package A

We’ll work with you to develop a plan for releasing a new podcast episode on a regular schedule (weekly or bi-weekly).

The Editing and Posting Package

Editing your audio can be a serious drain on your time. Make sure the job gets done right. Once your recording is done, hit stop, and we’ll take it from there.

The Strategy Package

We will work with you to develop a Standard Operating Procedure (based on the technology you have) to record your podcast and a content calendar to ensure you're automating the process to get your podcast jumpstarted or streamlined. This will save you every possible penny and ounce of time and ensure you publish consistently.

Optional Add-On Features

Once you have a podcast you can efficiently repurpose it with the various add-on features that we offer. This includes clips of your show (with captions) for social media, transcripts, in-depth SEO-rich blogs to accompany each podcast and custom show notes. Don’t have a host in mind? Not a problem, we’ll help you with that too.

FAQs

How does this work?

We will help you identify your podcast goals and plan the best approach moving forward accordingly. We’ll work with you to identify the podcast style (whether it's interviews, monologues or a combination of both) that best achieves your goals and objectives. If you plan to have guests, we’ll guide you on best practices for booking guests.

How long will it take to launch a new podcast?

Your new podcast could be launched and available in iTunes in as fast as three weeks with the proper plan in place after our first consultation call.

How do we prepare for each episode?

With a podcast interview, you will record with a guest to discuss certain subject matter or news. We will provide you with a template to help you prepare for each episode. We can also work with you to find a podcast host to moderate your discussions and conduct the interviews for you.

What is the workflow process?

We will provide you with instructions about how to record the podcast with resources you already have. After you hit stop on the recording, it is automatically saved in the remote podcasting software we advocate using. We take it from there and ensure it is properly edited, labeled and scheduled for publication. Soon it will be in Spotify, iTunes, YouTube and all the podcast directories!

If I sign-up, how long do I have to commit to these services?

You are free to cancel at any time, but we recommend podcasting for at least one year. We’ll work with you to develop a strategy for building that consistent content.

Are there any unforeseen costs that will pop up that aren’t listed here?

We’re serious about making the podcasting process as efficient and cost effective as possible. We will provide you with instructions for how to record the podcast with resources you already have. If you want to go the extra mile, we will create a cost-effective list of resources (headsets, microphones, lighting, etc.) you will need to get rolling that can be purchased online.

To record remote interviews, we recommend Riverside.FM, but you can also use Zoom. When launching a podcast, we will work with you to select music that plays in the background during the intro and outro of each podcast and your podcast logo or cover art (included in our services).
