How it works
- 1.
Strategy call
One 90-minute session to lock the show name, audience, format, episode length, publishing rhythm and the first five episode topics.
- 2.
Build phase
Artwork, music, hosting, first five episodes produced. We handle every tech step. You just show up to record.
- 3.
Launch week
Show goes live on all major directories at the same time, with three episodes at launch and two more scheduled in the first two weeks.
Timeline & turnaround
Full launch typically takes 3-4 weeks from strategy call to going live. Fast-track launches inside 2 weeks are possible if you can commit to recording the first three episodes in the first week.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to launch a podcast?
A properly launched podcast takes 3-4 weeks from strategy call to going live: one week for strategy and artwork, two weeks to produce the first five episodes, one week to submit to directories and coordinate launch. Fast-track launches inside 2 weeks are possible if you can commit to a heavy recording week.
What does a podcast launch service cost?
Podcast launch packages with Audio & Co start at £1,800 one-off in 2026 and include strategy, naming, artwork, music, first five episodes produced, hosting setup and distribution submission. Ongoing production is a separate service after launch. We quote after a 30-minute call.
Do you help me name my podcast and design the artwork?
Yes. Naming, positioning, tagline and cover artwork are all included. We deliver three artwork concepts on the first round and one refined final version. Show names are workshopped in a 60-minute session with keyword research so the name is discoverable, not just clever.
Which podcast host do you recommend?
We work with every major host but recommend Buzzsprout for most coaches, consultants and authors because the interface is simple, the analytics are honest, and the transcript feature has improved a lot in 2025-2026. Spotify for Podcasters is the free alternative if budget is tight.
Do I need expensive equipment to record a podcast?
No. A £120 USB microphone (Rode PodMic USB or Samson Q2U) and quiet room are enough to sound professional after our mastering. Most of our launched shows use setups under £250 total. We recommend equipment during the strategy call based on your recording location.
Ready to get started?
