The Vivid Story AgencyApply for the Sprint

For aspiring, new and stalled podcasters

You should be the voice—not the production department.

You bring the microphone. We bring the machine.

Your ideas, experience and conversations are the talent. We build and run the calm, dependable operation around them—from guests and preparation to recording, editing, publishing and promotion.

Begin by finishing one episode with us. Then, if it is a fit, let us carry the next six or twelve.

Everything around the microphone

A finished episode depends on what happens before, during and after you press record.

Before: the right topic or guest, clear preparation and a recording everyone is ready for.

During: calm support in the studio so you can stay present and lead the conversation.

After: a professional edit, useful show notes, accurate publishing and a promotional life beyond launch day.

A focused way to begin

The Private 5-Day Podcast Momentum Sprint

For five days, you work directly with Eme for one focused hour each day to turn your podcast idea or next episode into something finished.

No group calls. No generic video course. No enormous list of homework. Just you, Eme and a practical workflow that leads to a recorded, fully produced episode.

Introductory Sprint fee: $197.
Only five one-to-one spots are available. Future Sprint fee: $600.

One episode. Recorded.
Produced. Ready to publish.
Apply for the Sprint

One Sprint. One clear outcome.

Your first or next episode, produced from end to end.

Your five-day deliverable

A publish-ready podcast episode

We do not stop when you press “end recording.” Production is part of the Sprint.

We use The Podcast Momentum Workflow to make the right decisions, prepare the conversation, record calmly and carry the episode through post-production.

  • A clear purpose, audience and job for the episode
  • A focused topic, format and episode outline
  • Guest preparation and outreach, where required
  • Interview questions or a solo-episode structure
  • Equipment, software and recording checks
  • A guided recording with Eme as your live producer
  • Editing, revisions and quality control
  • A title, description and useful show notes
  • A publish-ready first or next episode
  • A personalised workflow for the episode that follows

By Day 5: you will have one professionally produced first or next episode and a clearer, repeatable path to the episode that follows.

How the five days work

One hour a day. One clear step at a time.

  1. Day 1

    Direction

    Clarify your audience, the job of this episode and the result we must finish together.

  2. Day 2

    Shape

    Choose the topic and format, then build the outline, questions and guest plan where needed.

  3. Day 3

    Prepare

    Complete the recording plan, technical checks, guest preparation and supporting assets.

  4. Day 4

    Record

    Record with Eme in the studio as your producer, supporting the conversation from start to finish.

  5. Day 5

    Produce

    Complete the edit, quality review, title, description and show notes so the episode is ready to publish.

The workflow is adapted to your starting point, topic and episode format. The goal is not more information. It is one finished episode.

What makes this different

You will not leave with more information. You will leave with something finished.

Small steps. Real implementation. Visible progress.

After the Sprint

The Podcast Partnership

You come and record. We manage everything else.

Every new Partnership begins with the private 5-Day Sprint. We produce one real episode together, establish the workflow and make sure the relationship is right for both of us.

If we choose to continue, your Sprint episode becomes Episode 1 of your series or season and the $197 Sprint fee is credited towards the Partnership package.

She has also supported a six-part podcast series for ONE2ONE Mentoring and created and hosted her own interview-led podcasts.

Story comes before machinery. The machinery exists to help the story travel.

Frequently asked questions

Before we begin

What is the difference between the Sprint and the Partnership?

The private Podcast Momentum Sprint helps you finish one first or next episode in five focused days. Every new Podcast Partnership begins with the Sprint so we can produce one real episode together, establish the workflow and make sure the relationship is right for both of us. If we continue, that episode becomes Episode 1 of your series or season.

How much does it cost?

The introductory Sprint fee is $197, with only five one-to-one spots available. The future Sprint fee will be $600. Podcast Partnership packages are $1,800 for a six-episode series or $3,000 for a twelve-episode season. If we continue into a Partnership, your Sprint fee is credited towards the package price.

Will Eme be there when I record?

Yes. Eme joins you in the Riverside studio as your producer, supporting you and any guest before, during and after the recording.

Is editing included?

Yes. Your Sprint includes production of the episode you record. Partnership packages include editing and quality control for every episode in the agreed series or season. Eme owns the process and may work with a trusted specialist behind the scenes, so you do not have to manage another supplier.

How much time will I need during a Sprint?

You will work with Eme for one focused hour each day. A few small actions may be needed between sessions, but the Sprint is designed to minimise unnecessary homework.

Must the Sprint sessions be on five consecutive days?

Ideally, sessions should take place close together to maintain momentum. The exact schedule will be agreed before the Sprint begins.

Is this suitable for an existing podcast?

Yes. The Sprint is for aspiring, new and stalled podcasters. Your finished episode can be your first episode, your return after a pause or the first episode of a new season.

Do I need to have a guest ready?

No. Your episode may be solo or guest-led. If a guest is part of the plan, we will use the Sprint to clarify who is right, prepare the outreach and organise the recording.

Apply for private support

Tell Eme what you want to finish.

Apply to finish one episode or explore an ongoing six- or twelve-episode Podcast Partnership. Every new client begins with the private Sprint; if we continue into a Partnership, your Sprint episode becomes Episode 1 and the $197 fee is credited towards the package.

The application and introductory chat are free. You only pay the Sprint fee after speaking with Eme and being accepted.

What happens next?

After submitting your application, you’ll be taken to Eme’s calendar to choose a suitable time for a short podcast conversation. There is no charge to apply or book this chat.
