values alignment
Every production requires something different and unique. We work with an underlying value system that our stories will never be exploitative nor derivative. And most importantly, that we will include and center the perspectives of the communities most affected by our narratives. Below are some examples of how we’ve worked alongside our clients to produce exceptional values-aligned content.

Client Study —
The National Geographic Okavango Wilderness Project
We are proud to share that this production has been chosen as a Tribeca Select and a finalist for best podcast at the Jackson Wild Film Festival. This series has also won Best Narrative Nonfiction Podcast at Tribeca Festival 2021, and has topped the Apple Podcast charts as a top 10 science podcast, and the number one nature podcast of all time.
For this production, we applied for a grant together with only a vague idea around the story and subject of the show. The House of Pod team then spent four months in the field recording, and a year and a half developing the core premise and concept of the show, logging tape, translating and transcribing interviews, designing and contracting music, developing and researching scripts, re-recording and conducting interviews, and training international producers and talent from the communities represented in the show.
We then fact-checked, sensitivity-tested, and story-edited all scripts; created the art and distribution strategy; edited, treated, and sound designed all audio; and marketed and promoted the show.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to work with House of Pod?
Because we completely customize our productions, every budget is uniquely priced. Many of our full-scale productions begin with a $2500 ideation session to develop a production road map and launch strategy for your show. From there, we produce an accurate quote accordingly. Reach out to our team to find out more.
Do you offer editing services?
We only offer audio editing services for folks who are collaborating with us on producing their show. However, if you are looking for someone to purely cut, edit, and correct your tape, we would happily introduce you to some of our community members specializing exclusively in sound editing.
How long does it typically take to produce a podcast?
Every show will have different demands, so it truly varies client-to-client. If you’re interested in launching a podcast for your organization, please get in touch for a consultation.
