How Long Does Podcast Production Take?

🗓️ From Recording to Release—Here’s What to Expect

You’ve recorded an episode. Now what? Editing, mixing, uploading—how long does all of that take? And how soon can you get your episode out into the world?

At That Toronto Podcast Studio, we streamline podcast production so creators aren’t stuck in limbo between recording and publishing. Here’s a clear breakdown of how long podcast production actually takes—and what affects the timeline.

⚡ Quick Overview

Here’s what you can expect with us:

• Editing only: Up to 2 business days per full episode

• Full production (editing + publishing): 3-5 business days

• Launch package or full series prep: 1–2 weeks

These timelines are based on what most podcasters need—but we adjust based on how complex your content is and how often you publish.

🧠 What Slows People Down (and How We Avoid It)

If you’re trying to do it all yourself, production can stretch into weeks. The biggest time-sucks?

• Re-recording because of bad audio

• Manual editing without a clear process

• Re-exporting to fix file issues

• Writing show notes at the last minute

• Formatting files for each platform

• Delays waiting on feedback from others

We remove all of that. You send us your files (or record with us), and we take care of the rest.

🛠️ What’s Included in Our Timeline

When we say “production,” here’s what we actually do behind the scenes:

• Audio cleanup (background noise, voice balancing)

• Cutting filler and long pauses

• Adding music, branding, and transitions

• Formatting your episode for platforms

• Writing or reviewing show notes (if needed)

• Uploading to Spotify, Apple, etc.

You get your episode back ready to publish—or we publish it for you.

🔁 Weekly or Bi-Weekly? We Keep the Schedule

Most podcasters work with us on a weekly or bi-weekly cycle. That means:

• You record on the same day each week

• We edit and turn it around on a fixed timeline

• You stay consistent without scrambling

We can also help you batch-produce episodes in advance if you want to build a buffer.
