UK podcast networks + indie producers — Riverside / Hindenburg / Buzzsprout — episode pipeline, guest booking, edit workflow, distribution + analytics.
Topic, guest, record, edit, publish — every milestone with an owner and a date. Riverside or Squadcast for record, Notion or Airtable for the spine.
Guest CRM, calendar invites with prep notes, day-before reminders, post-record thank-you with promo assets. The host turns up to the conversation, not the admin.
Edit, mix, master — every version reviewable, comments timecoded, sign-off captured. No more 'which version did we ship'.
Master file pushed to the host, RSS distributed, episode metadata not re-keyed across YouTube and the website. Releases go out at the time they're meant to.
Plays, completion, drop-off per episode and platform. Ad inventory, host reads, dynamic insertion — sold on data the sponsor can verify, reports landing the week of the read.
House style guide, guest roster with appearance history, sponsor rates and past reads, archive of every episode. The producer answers a sponsor brief in minutes.
An independent podcast network of four shipped twelve episodes a year because intake lived in three inboxes and edit-tracking lived in a Trello that hadn't been kept honest in months. Pitches got dropped, edits got lost, sponsor reads went out late. Two-week build: an Airtable-backed pitch and edit pipeline with auto-reminders, Frame.io for reviews, a release schedule visible to the whole team, and a BrainBase of style, guests, and rates the producers could search. Twelve months in: 38 published episodes, no extra hires, sponsor reporting that arrived the week of the read instead of the month after.
How we measure: Episodes published counted from the public RSS feed and YouTube channel for the calendar year before and after; staff headcount confirmed against payroll; sponsor reporting cadence measured from read date to report-sent date in client comms.
If your work isn't exactly this, the nearest sectors share the rhythm. Or browse every industry we build for.
Bring the show list, last quarter's release schedule, and the sponsor pack you're behind on. That's the brief.
