What our clients say

We let our work — and our clients — speak for themselves. Here are some of the voices behind the shows we produce.

★★★★★
"Before working with Authority Podwave, I spent hours every week fumbling with audio software and still ended up with episodes that sounded amateur. Their team took over production entirely, and the difference was night and day. My downloads tripled within two months, and I finally had time to focus on creating great content instead of wrestling with technology."

★★★★★
"I came to Authority Podwave with nothing more than an idea scribbled on a napkin. They helped me shape it into a fully realised show with a clear format, professional branding, and a launch strategy that landed me in the top 50 of the Canadian business category on Apple Podcasts within three weeks. Their strategic thinking is as impressive as their audio engineering."

★★★★★
"As a non-profit, our budget is tight, but the team at Authority Podwave worked with us to create a plan that fit our resources. They produced twelve episodes of our community storytelling series, and the response was overwhelming. Local media picked up the show, and we saw a 40 % increase in volunteer sign-ups directly attributed to podcast listeners."

★★★★☆
"I had been self-producing my tech podcast for two years and had plateaued at around 500 downloads per episode. Authority Podwave re-engineered my audio quality, redesigned my cover art, and implemented an SEO-driven show notes strategy. Six months later, I consistently hit 3,000 downloads per episode and secured my first paid sponsor."

"What sets Authority Podwave apart is their genuine investment in your success. My dedicated producer remembers every detail about my show, suggests guest ideas, and proactively flags trends in my analytics. It feels less like an outsourced service and more like having a talented colleague who cares deeply about the work."

★★★★★
"We hired Authority Podwave to produce a branded podcast for our SaaS company. They handled everything from concept development to guest booking to distribution. The show became our top-performing content marketing channel within one quarter, generating more qualified leads than our blog and paid ads combined."

Case studies

A closer look at the measurable results we have delivered for podcast clients across different industries.

Margaux Delisle recording The Wellness Blueprint podcast

The Wellness Blueprint — from hobby to top-100 health show

When Margaux Delisle approached us, her biweekly wellness podcast averaged 180 downloads per episode and suffered from inconsistent audio quality. Our team rebuilt her production pipeline: we introduced a standardised recording checklist, upgraded her remote setup with targeted equipment recommendations, and implemented a post-production workflow that cut turnaround time by 60 %.

On the marketing side, we created audiogram clips optimised for Instagram Reels and TikTok, wrote SEO-rich show notes that ranked for long-tail health queries, and developed a listener referral programme. Within five months, The Wellness Blueprint reached the top 100 in the Canadian health category on Apple Podcasts.

Scale Up Weekly — launching to the top of the charts

Tariq Benavides had deep expertise in scaling startups but zero podcasting experience. We guided him through every step: defining a niche (growth tactics for bootstrapped SaaS founders), scripting a compelling trailer, designing bold cover art, and orchestrating a coordinated launch across social media, email lists, and cross-promotion swaps with complementary shows.

On launch day, Scale Up Weekly debuted with five episodes — a strategy we recommended to encourage binge listening and signal quality to the algorithms. The result was a swift climb into Apple Podcasts' "New & Noteworthy" section and a feature in Spotify's "Business Essentials" editorial playlist. By episode 15, Tariq had signed a six-figure annual sponsorship deal.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from prospective podcast clients.

How long does it take to launch a new podcast?

Most clients go from initial consultation to a published first episode in four to six weeks. This includes strategy, branding, recording, editing, and distribution setup. If you already have recorded content, we can often compress the timeline to two to three weeks.

Do I need my own recording equipment?

Not necessarily. We provide detailed equipment recommendations tailored to your budget — from a simple USB microphone setup under $150 to a full home-studio configuration. If you prefer, we can also arrange in-studio recording sessions in the greater Montreal area.

Can you help with an existing podcast that needs improvement?

Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us after self-producing for a while. We perform an audio audit, review your branding and metadata, analyse your download trends, and create a tailored improvement plan. Typical results include a 150–300 % increase in downloads within three to six months.

What genres or industries do you specialise in?

We have produced shows across business, technology, health, education, true crime, personal development, arts, and non-profit storytelling. Our production techniques are genre-agnostic, and our strategists research your specific niche to ensure the content resonates with your target audience.

How does pricing work?

We offer monthly retainer packages based on the number of episodes, level of editing, and additional services (show notes, social assets, guest booking). Every engagement begins with a free discovery call where we scope your needs and provide a transparent quote with no hidden fees.
