About Podcast Allies

We help you tell audio stories that matter. Without the overwhelm.

Podcast Allies develops and produces compelling, relevant podcasts for mission-driven clients who believe in the power of storytelling and who are dedicated to quality.

And if you’d rather do it yourself, we offer proven training, developed from years in the field — training that takes you from idea to launch and well beyond.

We’re right-brained and left-brained. Great audio storytelling demands experience on the creative side. And on the project management side. We do both, and we teach both.

Our consulting services and training are personal, creative, organized and empathic. We know how fascinating and useful a great podcast can be. And we know the obstacles to getting there — and how to overcome them.

There’s a lot of information online on how to produce podcasts. But in our experience, there’s nothing like having professionals hold your hand from start to finish.

That’s why we call ourselves “allies.”

Podcast Allies was founded by journalists in 2019. We have decades of experience in public radio and working with top podcast networks, including NPR and Wondery. Meet our team here.

We work with hand-picked writers, producers, showrunners, audio editors, sound designers, audience engagement specialists, and engineers…custom-chosen from the best in the industry, just for your project.

It’s not just a revealing conversation about the art and craft of audio storytelling, it’s a sound-rich narrative interview: Elaine plays back clips from her guest’s podcast. Together, they explore the storyteller’s creative choices in a “living learning lab.” Learn More
