TYLER HERRINTON / VIDEO PODCAST PRODUCTION
Help with launching a show and keeping it going.
I helped launch The Goulet Pencast and HoneyBook’s Independent Business Podcast, then worked on them for years. That meant figuring out the format with the hosts, getting the recording setups working, and making sure episodes were edited and published on time.
01 / Concept, launch & ongoing production
The Goulet Pencast
Approximately 150 long-form episodes
I pitched the idea to Brian Goulet and Drew Brown. We launched it together and kept trying segments and making changes as the show grew.
- Studio production & editing. I helped move the show from remote recording into its own studio. I produced and edited the episodes, including the audio, camera matching, and graphics.
- A consistent weekly show. I kept up with the weekly edit, shot photos, made nearly every thumbnail, and helped publish the episodes.
- Audience & community. Episodes drew 14,000–18,000 YouTube views and hundreds of comments. I made graphics around the show’s running jokes and helped produce a live podcast event for hundreds of convention attendees.
02 / Launch, editorial oversight & publishing
Independent Business Podcast
HoneyBook / 110 episodes
I helped HoneyBook launch the podcast and work out how we’d make it each week. I set up the first edits, graphics, music, and transitions so we had a starting point for the episodes that followed.
- Editing & team management. I edited the first episodes, then supervised an editor for three years. She did much of the weekly editing; I reviewed her cuts, gave notes, and finalized the episodes.
- YouTube publishing. Adapted the team’s show notes for YouTube, prepared titles, thumbnails, and descriptions, and uploaded and scheduled episodes. Delivered separate audio files for the team’s podcast distribution.
- Brand assets & short-form video. I adapted the podcast branding for the videos and made clips for the social team and YouTube Shorts.
03 / On-location production
On-location podcast recording.
For Natalie Franke’s conversation with Katelyn James, I turned a room in an Airbnb into a complete podcast setup.
- My equipment, ready to go. I brought my own cameras, lighting, and audio equipment, chose the recording space, and set up everything for the conversation.
- Recording and editing. I lit the room, set the camera angles, recorded the sound, and edited the episode.
04 / Home studios & remote recording
A home studio Natalie could run herself.
I helped Natalie Franke set up her home office so she could record episodes without me there.
- Connect the camera and sound. I connected her camera and microphone to her computer and got them working in Riverside.
- Make remote conversations feel natural. I set up a computer-connected teleprompter to display her guest’s video directly in front of the lens. She could look at the person she was talking to while maintaining eye contact with the camera.
- Set the lights once. I helped her choose and set up the lights so she could get the same look each time she recorded.
05 / My own podcast
Ty’s Tech Line
I wanted to learn how to make podcasts for other people, so I started one myself.
- Build the whole show. I bought the recording equipment, designed the graphics, and put together the music and intros.
- Research, interview, and host. I researched guests, wrote questions, and hosted 30+ episodes. It helped to experience the part I usually ask someone else to do.
- Edit, publish, and promote. I edited the episodes, published through Fireside, and made social posts to promote them.
