Our philosophy is deeply rooted in the desire to help our clients achieve their long-term podcasting goals.

In 2019, as a newly certified audio engineer, I found my passion in podcasting when I landed a role editing sound for a weekly marketing podcast. The workflow was amazing—the tight deadlines, the creative problem-solving, and the fulfillment of delivering a new high-quality episode. Each week was familiar yet different enough to keep things fresh and exciting.

This experience fueled my desire to expand my skills, leading me to work as an independent contractor for a major podcast editing company. I noticed a recurring issue: many of the podcasts we worked on struggled to sustain themselves over the long term, and for the company I was working with, our work had ended. What was so crazy to me was that it was the same for many of our competitors - no one seemed to offer any sort of assistance or guidance to help clients ensure their podcast survives.

With my freelance editing services continuing to grow, I decided to start HoneyPod, and I immediately knew that one of our company pillars would be providing our clients with the tools necessary to thrive long-term. Today, when we’re asked what makes us different from other editing companies, our answer is fairly simple: Most of our competitors are service providers, whereas HoneyPod is truly a partnership. We understand that the most critical work is done behind the scenes - optimizing your planned episode so that it’s primed to reach the largest audience that it can. This isn’t necessarily the most “attractive” work, which might be the reason most editing companies end their service before reaching this stage, but it’s so important in achieving your podcast’s true potential.

We take pride in listening to our clients and understanding their needs. In doing so, we’ve identified that the biggest threat to a new podcast isn’t that the concept is lacking, or that the editing is poor, it’s that there isn’t a strategy in place to navigate the waters post-launch.

And these waters can prove to be turbulent if you’re new to them. Many podcasts fall victim to this oversight; they get lost in the shuffle, lose hope as they see their view count and page traffic get smaller and smaller and eventually quit.

And trust us, we get it! 

You’ve poured your heart and soul into planning and developing your podcast. You spend all those quiet hours in the middle of the night brainstorming ideas for your next batch of content. You rehearse and record, send your files to an editor, and that should be it! SEO? YouTube priming? Metric monitoring? A/B testing? Surveys? Metadata? Content repurposing? Who has time for all of that?! We do!

It likely isn’t what you want to hear, but it’s true - after you hit “publish,” the journey has just begun. The behind-the-scenes work is what elevates a podcast from good to great, helping it stand out in an increasingly crowded field. And unfortunately, most editing companies don’t offer any of these services or guidance.

This is where HoneyPod truly sets itself apart. Sure, we take pride in our editing skills and craftsmanship, but it’s the dedicated support we provide after your episode is published that really makes the difference. Our commitment to your success doesn’t end with superb editing; it continues with strategic guidance and actions designed to ensure your podcast not only survives but thrives. The pride we have in our work and the belief that we have in our company is the reason we offer unlimited revisions and free calls to all of our clients.
