Case Study 01

From Kitchen-Table Idea to 18,000 Weekly Listeners

When Aoife Brennan approached us with a concept for a history podcast aimed at secondary-school students, she had a phone recorder and a Google Doc outline. Within six months of working with SoundSimba Pod, Echoes of Éire had secured a sponsorship deal with a national publisher and was averaging 18,200 downloads per episode. We handled acoustic treatment, narrative scripting, original scoring, and distribution to nine platforms.

"I walked in knowing nothing about audio. They didn't just produce my show — they taught me to think like a broadcaster."

— Aoife Brennan, Host of Echoes of Éire

SoundSimba Pod — Podcast Production, Reimagined

We don't follow a template. Every podcast we produce begins with a deep understanding of your audience, your voice, and the story only you can tell. Based in Tiffanyside, Ireland, our studio has helped launch 43 shows across documentary, interview, narrative fiction, and branded content formats.

Listener-First Design

We architect each episode around retention curves and listener psychology — not just content calendars.

Acoustic Precision

Our treated rooms and field-recording kits ensure broadcast-grade audio, whether you record on-site or remotely.

Distribution Architecture

RSS optimisation, platform-specific metadata, and cross-promotion strategy built into every launch plan.

Case Study 02

A Corporate Rebrand Through Audio

Greenline Logistics needed internal communications that didn't feel like memos. We designed a fortnightly internal podcast — complete with segment branding, interview coaching for executives, and a private RSS feed. After three quarters, employee engagement scores on internal surveys rose by 22 points. The CEO now records a monthly "dashboard update" episode that outperforms their email newsletter open rate by a factor of three.

"Our people actually look forward to company updates now. That was unthinkable before."
— Declan Moriarty, COO, Greenline Logistics

Your Podcasting Journey — A Decision Map

I have an idea but no plan

Start with our Guided Launch route. We'll shape your concept, define your audience, and hand you a production-ready blueprint.

I'm already recording but it sounds amateur

Our Full Production route includes acoustic assessment, re-recording where needed, and professional post-production to elevate your existing content.

I need a production partner for the long term

The Ongoing Partnership embeds our team into your workflow — editing, strategy, analytics, and seasonal planning on a retained basis.

Case Study 03 — Narrative Fiction

Writer Tomás Gallagher had a six-part thriller script but zero audio production experience. We cast three voice actors, composed an original soundtrack, designed spatial audio scenes, and delivered a finished series that was featured on Apple Podcasts' "New & Noteworthy" within its launch week. Total production time: eleven weeks from first read-through to published feed.

"SoundSimba Pod understood pacing and tension better than most screenwriters I've worked with. The audio design was cinematic."

— Tomás Gallagher, Writer & Creator

Common Questions — Answered Plainly

Do I need my own equipment to start?

No. If you choose in-studio recording, we supply everything. For remote sessions, we can ship a pre-configured recording kit or coach you through a setup using gear you already own.

How much does a typical project cost?

Guided Launch projects begin around €1,200. Full Production varies between €3,500 and €9,000 depending on episode count and complexity. Ongoing Partnerships are scoped individually — we'll provide a transparent quote after an initial conversation.

Can you help with an existing podcast that needs improvement?

Absolutely. We offer standalone audio audits, re-mastering of back catalogues, and strategic consultations for shows that want to grow their audience or improve production quality.

What formats do you work with?

Interview, solo narrative, panel discussion, documentary, branded content, internal communications, and narrative fiction. If your format doesn't fit neatly into a box, even better — we enjoy unusual briefs.

How long before my podcast goes live?

Guided Launch timelines are typically 2–3 weeks. Full Production runs 5–8 weeks. Narrative fiction or heavily scored projects may take longer. We set realistic milestones during our first planning session.
