Two short stories. Real workflows, real numbers, names redacted on request.
Independent podcast — true crime
From a noisy field recording to a polished episode in 22 minutes
A two-host interview, recorded in a cafe with a single shotgun mic. Before AudioPod the producer was paying a freelance engineer ~$120 per episode for cleanup and ducking. With AudioPod's denoise + speaker separation + auto-chapters, the same episode lands clean in under 25 minutes, end to end.
- Per-episode post cost
- $120 → $0
- Cleanup time
- 3h → 22 min
- Output rating
- Producer-approved
Self-published romance author — 6 books / year
Audiobook turnaround that finally fits an indie author's life
Author was outsourcing narration at $250/hr finished audio and missing release windows. Now she narrates the first chapter in her own voice, clones it on AudioPod's audiobook studio, and renders the rest of the book against her clone — with manual passes on emotional beats. ACX-grade exports, no engineer in the loop.
- Narration cost
- $2,200 → ~$30
- Time-to-release
- 8 weeks → 1 weekend
- ACX accept rate
