Video Podcast Production for Founders: From Prep Interview to Clips Everywhere
A podcast is often the easiest first video for a founder: you talk to a person, not a lens. We plan the episode, prepare you, record it with three cameras, edit the episode and the clips, and publish everywhere. From $500, with filming priced by location.

Why a video podcast for a founder?
Talking to a person is easier than talking to a lens. A good host asks the questions and pulls out the stories, so you don't need a script. And one recording becomes a long YouTube video, a podcast episode, a month of Shorts, a LinkedIn post and several articles. This year I recorded at least 15 podcasts in a studio and about 30 remote ones, as a host and for clients.
What's included?
| Stage | What we do | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-production | topic, guest plan, a 30-minute prep interview, questions, studio booking | 30 minutes of prep |
| Recording | three cameras, a microphone per person, a host if you need one | talk |
| Episode edit | camera cuts, clean sound, chapters, graphics | one review |
| Clips | about 5–15 Shorts per hour, cut by the same editor | nothing |
| Packaging and publishing | thumbnails with two faces and a hook, titles, YouTube, podcast apps, social media | nothing |
How does the prep interview work?
Before every recording we spend 30 minutes with you and agree on the key stories, the one main idea, who the episode is for, which stage of the buyer's path it serves and where it sends people next. Then the recording feels like a conversation. The episode has a point, and the clips come out stronger.
How much does video podcast production cost?
| Part | Price |
|---|---|
| Pre-production and post-production | from $500 |
| Filming: studio, operator, travel | priced separately, depends on location |
For reference, US podcast studios in October 2026 typically rented for about $30–150 an hour on Peerspace, and Giggster showed about $105 an hour on average, often with a 2-hour minimum. The full breakdown is in how to start a video podcast.
What does the result look like?
Each episode goes out as a full video, a podcast episode and a set of Shorts on every platform. How one recording becomes a month of posts is in how to repurpose YouTube videos.
Who is it for?
- Founders and experts who explain better in conversation than alone on camera.
- B2B companies that want to build relationships with clients and partners by inviting them as guests.
- Anyone who wants a month of content from one or two hours of talking.

FAQ
What do your video podcast production services include?
A topic and a 30-minute prep interview, a host if you need one, recording with three cameras and a microphone per person, editing of the full episode, about 5 to 15 clips per hour, thumbnails and titles, and publishing on YouTube, podcast platforms and social media.
How much does video podcast production cost?
Evgeny Maximov's agency charges from $500 for pre-production and post-production of a video podcast. Filming is priced separately because it depends on the location: studio rent, operator and travel.
How much does a podcast studio cost to rent?
In the US in October 2026, studios on Peerspace typically rented for about $30–150 an hour, and Giggster showed about $105 an hour on average for podcast studios, often with a 2-hour minimum.
Can you host my podcast?
Yes. Evgeny Maximov often hosts client podcasts himself. A host who knows business and video asks the questions, keeps the energy up and pulls out the stories that later become the best clips.
Can we record remotely?
Yes, for guests in other cities or countries. But in-person recording gives more energy, looks premium and cuts into much better Shorts, so we recommend a studio whenever possible.
How many clips do I get from one episode?
Usually about 10 good clips from an hour-long episode. The normal range is 5 to 15 per hour; more only from very skilled speakers.
Is a video podcast good for a B2B business?
Yes, if your buyers make big decisions and want to hear how you think. A podcast with clients, partners or industry experts builds trust and relationships at the same time, and one hour gives a month of content.
How fast do I get the edited episode?
The timeline depends on the length and the number of clips, and we agree it before recording. Plan about a week for the full episode, with clips following after.
Where do you publish the podcast?
On YouTube as a full video, on podcast platforms as audio, and as Shorts on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn. One episode can also become several search articles and an email.
Can my guests be my clients or partners?
Yes, and it's one of the strongest formats for B2B. Inviting a client or partner gives them visibility, builds the relationship and gives you a case story in their own words.
