Good to know — Los Angeles.
Booking the West Hollywood studio? Start with the Los Angeles details below — then see the questions every podcaster asks before their first session.
Where is the Los Angeles studio and how do I park?
We're at 8228 Sunset Blvd #315 in West Hollywood. You get one reserved spot in the lot behind the building — turn onto Harper Avenue from Sunset and pull into the lot behind us — plus ample street parking and paid lots nearby.
What sets does the LA studio have?
Two: a warm lounge set with a sofa and plants for relaxed conversations, and an editorial table set built for clean multi-camera video. You choose your set when you book.
Can I tour the West Hollywood studio first?
Absolutely. Book a free 15-minute tour from the booking calendar (the "Free 15-min tour" tab) and come see the space — no commitment.
Does my session come with an engineer?
Yes. A trained audio/video engineer is there for every recording, so you never have to worry about the equipment or capturing your podcast.
Can I have a guest call in via Zoom or Riverside?
Yes. If your remote guest has a webcam or microphone we can call them in — you will see and hear them both in the studio and on your podcast. Just select "Remote Guest" when booking.
What are your rates and availability?
It depends on the package you are looking for. Rates, availability, and booking are all handled on this site — choose your location and book the time that fits.
What is your cancellation, refund and credit policy?
We have a strict 24-hour cancellation/reschedule policy. If you cancel within 24 hours you are charged per hour booked. No-shows or cancellations after your start time are charged the full amount and cannot be refunded or rescheduled. Paid add-ons such as editing are refunded. This policy applies no matter how often you book or the reason.
Do you price match cheaper studios?
No. We are a premium studio with top-of-the-line video, audio and lighting, and our engineers are highly trained with film degrees and podcast experience. Not all podcast studios are equal — please do your due diligence.
Can you hold a day and time for me?
The only way to reserve a time is to book it on our site.
How do I get my audio and video files?
Bring an external drive or SSD, or we'll send your files via a Dropbox download link by end of day on your record day. Files are kept for 30 days, so download them as soon as you can.
What if we go over the time we booked?
We are fairly lenient, but if you go more than 20 minutes past your scheduled time we begin charging per half hour. We may stop you a little early if another podcast is booked right after yours.
What is parking like?
At our LA location there is one parking spot for you in the lot behind the building (turn onto Harper Ave from Sunset), plus ample street parking and paid lots nearby. NYC is street parking only, with no dedicated spot.
Can I have a tour?
Yes — tours are by appointment only. Email, call or text us and we will get one scheduled for you.
What are your hours?
We do not keep set hours but can accommodate almost any booking time with advance notice.
How many people can the studio accommodate?
Our table is set for four, with room for two more people off-camera. This is not a film set and we are not set up for large crews.
Can I customize the studio for my show?
You are welcome to hang a sign on our wall or place one on the table, set small items on the table or shelves, bring mic flags for our Shure SM7Bs, and change the color of the background lights. Our furniture is permanent and cannot be moved, and we do not have a TV to display your logo.
Do you have a restroom?
Yes — a restroom shared with the building. It cannot be used as a dedicated hair/makeup room.
Do you allow pets?
No pets, including dogs. We follow ADA guidelines for service animals; emotional support animals do not qualify.
Do you provide water?
Yes — we keep a stocked fridge of complimentary refreshments for you and your guests.
Can I book audio only and bring my own cameras?
No. If you would like to shoot a video podcast at our studio, you must use our video services.
