  • High Quality Audio 

I started Pleasant Podcasts back in January of 2018, when one day I was coming home from my unfulfilling 9-5 job.  I just started listening to this new podcast that sounded interesting and had great content, but the audio quality was so bad that it was really hard to listen to.  At that time I was looking for a way to get out of my soul sucking engineering career and I wanted to do work that was more impactful and more in alignment with my passions.  As I was listening to the bad-sounding audio of this podcast, I thought to myself, if I had this audio file I know I can make it sound better.  I learned how to record, edit, and mix audio from being passionate about music since I was young, so why couldn’t I apply that knowledge to a podcast?  That was my lightbulb moment.  As soon as I got home, I looked online to see if people were already doing this podcast editing service.  I found a few sites that did, and that was all I needed to know it was possible.  I immediately created a website and started trying to find clients.  

At first I only offered audio editing for other people’s podcasts, but in 2019 I opened a studio where I recorded audio and video podcasts as well as other spoken word audio.  Then the global pandemic caused me to pivot once again to best serve my customers, and become a mobile podcast studio where I went to the client.  Now I focus on teaching podcasting so that I can reach more people, but I also work 1:1 with a small number of people to individually help them launch and manage their shows. 

I am also a podcaster myself and have two shows. Working Towards Our Purpose is my passion project, and Help Me Podcast! is a show that I started to help other podcasters.
