    I help entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and storytellers LAUNCH and GROW audio podcasts that attract FANS, captivate audiences, drive engagement and build real INFLUENCE. Want more DOWNLOADS and ENGAGEMENT? Focus on delivering VALUE. Algorithms don’t grow podcasts, great content does. Give your audience what they came for, and they’ll keep coming back, sharing, and subscribing. One of my clients came to me looking to polish and grow her podcast which was achieving on average 15K downloads per month. She had a great concept but wasn’t seeing engagement translate into growth, so we focused on the series structure, optimizing episode content, show notes and blog posts, simultaneously adding value to her listeners and improving her SEO. The result? My client has now reached 100k downloads per month, allowing her to begin monetizing her show - receiving sponsorships like the 3-month campaign she just completed with Hello Fresh. As a Top Rated Plus Podcast Producer, with reality producing experience on The Bachelor, The Voice, and Shark Tank, I turn ideas into binge-worthy shows that stand apart from the competition. 🎙 How can I help you as a Podcast Producer? ✅ Podcast Concept Development & Show Structuring (format, themes, engagement strategy) ✅ Podcast Editing & Audio Production (cleaning, mixing, mastering in Adobe Audition) ✅ Video Podcast Editing & YouTube Optimization (Adobe Premiere Pro) ✅ Custom Intro & Outro Creation (voiceovers, music selection, branding) ✅ Podcast Recording Setup Consultation (gear selection, remote recording best practices) ✅ Podcast Marketing & Audience Growth Strategies (SEO, repurposed content, engagement) ✅ Social Media & Promotional Content Creation (audiograms, video clips, quote graphics) ✅ Publishing & Distribution Across Major Platforms (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, etc.) 🎙 Why Work With Me? ✅ Full-Service Podcast Producer – I handle everything from planning to promotion ✅ 15+ Years in Video/Audio Content Production – Expertise in storytelling & audience engagement ✅ Professional Editing & Post-Production – High-quality sound, polished delivery ✅ Podcast Growth-Focused Approach – Show analysis to help you attract & gain engaged listeners ✅ Personalized Strategy – Every podcast is unique, and I tailor solutions to fit your goals Whether you're launching a new podcast or leveling up an existing show, I bring the expertise, creativity, and strategy to make your podcast a success. "Working with Steve is a beautiful collaboration. From our first call to celebrating the season finale of our second season together, Steve is nothing but imaginative, excited, supportive, and extremely enthusiastic. He’s a visionary, cheerleader, and strategist all wrapped into one. I’m constantly getting listener feedback about how great his sound design is - from inserting voiceovers to sound effects to music suggestions. Steve is creative and has really been an instrumental part in first helping me shape the vision of my podcast and then making it come to life. Additionally, he’s always happy to offer suggestions about how to improve and grow the podcast. Working with Steve is a dream - he’s a true creative genius. And fun to work with to boot. You can’t go wrong with Steve." Rachel Burch - Host of Love Before 100 📩 Ready to create a podcast that stands out? Send me a message, I'd love to hear about your show! Steve
