Podcast and Video Podcast Production

Podcast strategy, audio and video recording, editorial production, post production and social content for brands, institutions, experts and creators worldwide.

A podcast succeeds when people choose to return for the next conversation.

Clear sound and strong visuals matter, but they are only part of the production.

The show also needs a distinct purpose, the right host, a repeatable format and enough editorial discipline to remain interesting across episodes.

Global Untold Story develops and produces audio and video podcasts for brands, companies, institutions, executives and creators.

We can build a new show from the beginning, improve an existing format or manage the recurring production of an entire season.

Our work can cover everything from concept development and studio production to editing, social clips, transcripts, localization and publishing support.

BUILD A SHOW, NOT JUST AN EPISODE

Many podcasts begin with enthusiasm and stop after a few recordings.

The problem is rarely the equipment.

It is usually the absence of a clear format, realistic production workflow and long term content plan.

Before recording begins, we define:

Who the show is for

Why the audience should care

What makes the conversation distinctive

How each episode should be structured

How often the show can realistically be produced

What content should be created from every recording

How the show should develop over time

The result is a format that can remain consistent without making every episode feel the same.

PODCAST PRODUCTION CAPABILITIES

PODCAST STRATEGY AND CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

A podcast needs a reason to exist beyond the desire to start one.

We help define the show’s purpose, audience, positioning and editorial territory before deciding how it should look or sound.

Development can include:

Show concept

Audience definition

Editorial positioning

Show name and description

Episode structure

Recurring segments

Guest strategy

Host role

Tone of voice

Season direction

Publishing rhythm

Content extension plan

Platform direction

Launch strategy

The objective is to create a show people can recognize, understand and return to.

FORMAT AND SEASON DESIGN

A good conversation may create one strong episode.

A strong format creates a sustainable series.

We design a repeatable production structure that supports different guests and subjects while maintaining the identity of the show.

Format planning can include:

Episode duration

Opening and closing structure

Segment flow

Interview style

Host and cohost roles

Guest categories

Recurring questions

Audience interaction

Episode themes

Season narrative

Recording schedule

Review and approval process

Publishing schedule

Season development plan

The format should make production easier without making the conversation predictable.

EPISODE RESEARCH AND PLANNING

Preparation helps the host listen more closely and ask better questions.

Before each recording, we can research the guest, subject and wider context to identify the strongest areas of conversation.

Episode planning can include:

Guest research

Topic research

Episode angles

Interview themes

Questions and follow up areas

Fact and reference notes

Opening hooks

Talking points

Timing guidance

Sensitive subjects

Required visuals or references

Promotional moments

Potential social clips

Episode title direction

The host receives enough structure to feel prepared without turning the conversation into a scripted interview.

HOST AND GUEST PREPARATION

The quality of the show depends heavily on the people in front of the microphones.

Some hosts need help with pacing and follow up questions. Others need support managing time or creating clearer transitions.

Guests may need reassurance, context and a better understanding of the conversation before recording.

Our support can include:

Host coaching

Interview technique

Listening and follow up skills

Timing and segment control

Camera awareness

Guest briefing

Speaker preparation

Teleprompter support where required

On camera direction

Performance feedback

Practice recordings

Season development coaching

The goal is not to remove personality.

It is to help the host use it more effectively.

PODCAST STUDIO PRODUCTION

We produce podcasts in dedicated studios, temporary sets and client locations depending on the needs of the show.

The production setup is built around the number of speakers, visual direction and required deliverables.

Studio production can include:

Space planning

Camera positioning

Microphone selection

Audio monitoring

Lighting

Set styling

Brand integration

Screens and background content

Recording supervision

Guest coordination

Production management

Media backup

Technical rehearsals

We can work inside an existing studio or build the complete recording environment around the format.

VIDEO PODCAST PRODUCTION

Video podcasts are consumed across YouTube, social media and streaming platforms as much as they are heard through traditional podcast applications.

We produce single camera and multi camera video podcasts designed to generate complete episodes and strong shorter content from the same recording.

Video production can include:

Multi camera direction

Cinematic camera packages

Speaker close ups

Wide conversation coverage

Lighting design

Product and brand integration

Live switching where required

Isolated camera recording

Clean and branded outputs

Vertical content coverage

Photography

Behind the scenes material

Remote guest integration

Program and clean recordings

The visual style should support the conversation rather than distract from it.

AUDIO RECORDING AND ENGINEERING

Listeners may forgive a simple image.

They rarely forgive unclear sound.

We select and manage the audio setup according to the speakers, room and intended tone of the show.

Audio production can include:

Microphone selection

Individual speaker recording

Audio monitoring

Level control

Room assessment

Noise management

Backup recording

Remote guest audio

Music and playback

Sound checks

File organization

Every voice should sound clear, natural and consistent across the series.

SET DESIGN, LIGHTING AND VISUAL IDENTITY

The environment may feel intimate, authoritative, energetic or informal depending on the subject and audience.

Visual development can include:

Set concept

Furniture and layout

Background design

Practical lighting

Screen content

Brand placement

Props and styling

Camera friendly color choices

Host and guest positions

Temporary studio builds

The set should be visually distinctive while remaining practical for repeated production.

REMOTE AND HYBRID PODCAST PRODUCTION

We support remote and hybrid recordings through technical testing, guest guidance and structured recording workflows.

Support can include:

Microphone and headphone guidance

Camera placement

Lighting guidance

Remote recording platforms

Local recording backups

Connection monitoring

Separate audio recording

The remote guest should feel like part of the show, not an emergency video call.

Editing should improve the conversation without removing its personality.

We refine pacing, remove unnecessary repetition and strengthen the structure while preserving the natural rhythm between the speakers.

Post production can include:

Audio editing

Video editing

Conversation tightening

Noise reduction

Audio repair

Mixing and mastering

Camera switching

Color correction

Titles and graphics

Intro and outro sequences

Final quality control

The level of editing is adapted to the format.

Some shows benefit from a polished structure. Others need to remain loose and conversational.

Transitions

Social templates

Thumbnail systems

Quote cards

Animated graphics

These elements create consistency across complete episodes, social content and publishing platforms.

CLIPS, HIGHLIGHTS AND SOCIAL CONTENT

One episode should create more than one piece of content.

We identify the strongest ideas, reactions and exchanges from each recording, then adapt them into formats designed for discovery and social sharing.

Content can include:

Short vertical clips

Interview highlights

Strong opening hooks

Quote moments

Educational extracts

Guest insights

Teasers

Episode trailers

YouTube Shorts

Instagram Reels

TikTok clips

Platform specific cutdowns

The clip strategy should reflect the audience and platform rather than applying the same edit everywhere.

We prepare written materials that make episodes easier to understand, navigate and repurpose.

Deliverables can include:

Full transcripts
