Professional studio recording designed for entrepreneurs, professionals, and thought leaders. Show up. We handle the rest.
Most clients start with a package. Want more control over cameras, length, and add-ons? Build a custom session instead.
No menu to build โ just show up, record, and leave with content ready to post. Everything you need is included in one flat rate.
Choose Starter, Creator, or Producer โ then pick your session length and add only the extras that make sense for your content.
Fixed scope, fixed price โ no menu to build. Five packages, each built for a different outcome.
Ask about our session bundles.
If a package doesn't fit exactly what you need, build your own. Three tiers, four block lengths โ start where you are. Every tier uses cinema-grade cameras and broadcast audio.
Each session includes 30 min for setup, production wrap, and file handoff.

Everything you need to know before you book.
Where is Podforge Studios located?
We're located at 110 W Greenville Street, Anderson, SC 29625. One parking space is available directly in front of Podforge Studios. A second front space may occasionally be available. If the front spaces are occupied, additional parking is available across the street in the lot between The Peopleโs Bank and United Way.
Do I need recording experience?
Not at all. Every session includes a dedicated technician who handles all camera, audio, and lighting setup. You focus on the conversation โ we handle everything else.
How many people can record at once?
The Anvil, The Hearth, and The Crucible each seat up to 2 participants. Hosting a larger group or need remote guests? Contact us before booking and we'll find a solution.
When will I receive my files?
Files transfer free, on-site, the moment your session ends โ if you bring a USB 3.0 or faster portable SSD. No compatible drive? Cloud delivery is available from $25, with pricing and turnaround depending on session length and resolution.
Can I add on editing or social clips?
Yes โ add-ons can be selected at booking or added on the day of your session. Edited previews are ready within 7โ14 business days, depending on scope, with minor review tweaks included.
What's the difference between tiers?
Starter gives you one camera and raw files. Creator adds three cameras with raw video and audio from each for full editorial control in post. Producer adds live switching so you walk out with a finished program feed.
How long is a session, really?
Every session includes 30 minutes for setup โ dialing in lighting, audio, and cameras before you start. Book a 1.5-Hour Block and get a full hour of recording. Book longer and that same 30 minutes is all it takes โ the rest is recording time. Setup only grows if you switch recording environments mid-session.
What drive should I bring for my files?
Bring a USB 3.0 or faster portable SSD and your files transfer free immediately at the end of your session โ no waiting, no fees. Don't have a drive or forget yours? We offer cloud delivery starting at $25 for Starter sessions and $35 for Creator and Producer sessions, with fees increasing based on session length and resolution. Files are held for up to 7 days. See our full drive guide โ
