Podcast Consultants and Consulting Companies: 9 Compared

By

Published Updated 11 min read

A company podcast asks for more than a microphone. Someone has to decide who the show is for, which guests to invite, how each episode is produced and how anyone will find it. A podcast consultant can make those decisions with you, train the people who will host and run the show, or take most of the work off your team.

This guide compares nine podcast consultants and consulting companies. It groups them by how much of the work they take on, shows the proof and prices each one publishes, and ends with the questions to settle before you sign.

DisclosureJake Jorgovan founded Content Allies, one of the nine firms in this list.

Compare podcast consultants by how much they take on

"Podcast consultant" covers very different services. Some firms sell an hour of expert advice or a one-off audit of an existing show. Some coach your own team over months. Others set the strategy and then produce, publish and promote the show for a monthly fee.

Each firm below offers advice on a podcast as a named service, such as strategy, an audit or coaching, and its own pages name at least one client, show or attributed testimonial. The firms are grouped by their main offer, and several overlap: The Podcast Consultant sells a stand-alone audit as well as production, and Truth Work Media sells coaching sessions on their own. The list is unranked and covers part of the market. For firms chosen mainly for editing and production, see the podcast production companies guide.

Nine podcast consultants and consulting companies, grouped by how much of the work they take on and A to Z within each group, as their own pages described them on October 7, 2026. Prices, client names and counts are the firms' own claims. "Not published" means not on the pages read.

Advice, audits and coaching for a team that runs its own show

2 of 9 firms

These suit a company that wants to produce the show in-house, or already does, and needs an expert view or regular coaching. Among the prices published here, they are the least expensive way to get an expert view before committing a larger budget.

Multitude website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
An hour of expert review of a show, or a review of a listener membership program
Published pricing
$250 for a one-hour consulting session and $500 for a membership program audit in October 2026
Evidence
its training and consulting page (opens in a new tab)

Gooned creator Emma Lehman says Multitude's "consultations were so, so helpful in writing these scripts". The collective's client shows include Latino USA by Futuro and PRX, and it produces original shows of its own.

A single session pairs you with one of its team for an hour on any part of the show: development, production, editing, marketing or making money from it. The membership audit adds an hour of preparation, a 90-minute findings meeting and a follow-up meeting within six months. Custom consulting projects are quoted on request. Multitude was founded in 2017 by Amanda McLoughlin.

The Podcast Host website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
An in-house host or producer who wants courses and coaching over several months
Published pricing
$55 or $95 a month, or $595 a quarter for personal coaching, in October 2026
Evidence
the Podcraft Academy page (opens in a new tab)

Jackie Brambles, CEO of Broadstance Media, says she advises "any first-time podcaster to bring The Podcast Host on board as your coach". The Podcast Host says it has helped people start and grow podcasts since 2007, and its academy page says founder Colin Gray has taught podcasting for more than 15 years.

Its Podcraft Academy combines courses, templates, live Q&A sessions and community feedback with coaching from its team. The Personal Coaching tier lists one-to-one coaching and accountability, billed by the quarter, and the academy explains a three-month minimum for coaching. Its FAQ also offers "true 1:1 coaching" as a separate service with limited places, without saying how it differs from that tier, so ask which sessions the quarterly price includes. Teams can ask about rates for their size and goals.

Strategy and production in one engagement

6 of 9 firms

These firms set the show's direction and then do most of the production work. They suit a company that wants a podcast running without building an audio team. Each entry notes the advice that comes with the production work.

Content Allies website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
A B2B company that wants strategy, guest booking, production and promotion from one partner
Evidence
the Meta case study (opens in a new tab)

Content Allies' case study says Meta's business team brought it in "as a consultant and production partner" for a B2B podcast that began regular publishing in August 2021. It reports about 170,000 downloads in the first six months of working together and says it exceeded its initial four-month download target by a factor of seven. Its services page (opens in a new tab) names Meta, Siemens, Gusto and Cisco among enterprise customers.

The strategy services on that page include an audit of an existing show, host training and advisory retainers for companies that want to keep running the show internally. Production, guest scheduling, organic promotion and paid advertising sit alongside them, and the firm says it shapes each scope to the client's goals and budget. No prices appear on the pages read.

Potential fit
A host who wants help to launch and a publishing setup the company can later run alone

Ken White, host of Leadership & Business, says the firm's "expertise, guidance and professionalism" let his team focus on content. Terri Cole says she began working with Freedom Podcasting on The Terri Cole Show in 2015, and Lewis Howes of The School of Greatness also recommends it.

Alongside editing and production, the firm offers launch strategy, show ideation and advice on recording equipment. It builds the publishing system on the client's own website and says it then works with the client "to go out on your own", adding: "You will not need us forever". Prices are not published on the pages read.

Pro Podcast Solutions website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
A financial services, legal or other regulated firm that wants strategy reviews and compliance steps built into production
Published pricing
smaller packages from $1,995 a month (listed at two prices); enterprise typically $8,000 to $12,000 a month in October 2026

CUInsight has grown from one podcast with Pro Podcast Solutions to three shows produced by the firm, according to co-founder Randall Smith, who says the first launched nearly seven years before his testimonial. Jason Makar of Hexagon also recommends it.

Its packages combine production with strategy time: a quarterly content strategy call in the entry package, and monthly strategy consultations with a senior strategist in the larger one. Its compliance page adds a pre-production content consultation for regulated firms. The firm reports 500+ organizations served and 10,000+ episodes produced since 2013, and says its clients invest six to eight hours a month in total. Its homepage, read in October 2026, listed the Foundation package at both $1,995 and $2,495 a month and the Growth package at both $5,995 and $7,995, so ask for the current figure in writing. The enterprise range depends on episode volume, production complexity and compliance requirements.

Ask first
which strategy sessions does your package include, and which price applies to it?

Resonate Recordings website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
A company that wants the show's purpose agreed before production starts, with a stated launch timeline
Published pricing
full-service production generally $2,100 to $6,500 a month in October 2026 (its own ballpark)

Resonate lists ImmunoCast, a ThermoFisher Scientific show, among the shows it has made, and names Amazon, Salesforce, Stanford and Honda among the companies it has produced for. Colin Shaw, host of The Intuitive Customer, says listeners' feedback on the show's quality is "great, thanks to Resonate".

The firm says it "will not start producing until we know what the show is for". In its plan, strategy takes the first two weeks and most launches run 60 to 90 days from kickoff to the first episode, longer with several stakeholders or a legal review. Its cost guide (opens in a new tab) calls its price range a ballpark, not a quote.

The Podcast Consultant website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
A finance or investment firm, or any company that wants an outside audit of an existing show
Published pricing
$900 for a podcast audit and $2,000 a month for the launch program in October 2026
Evidence
the Invest Like the Best case study (opens in a new tab)

Invest Like the Best has been a client since the show launched in 2016, and the firm's case study lists launch, editing and production among the services used. Host Patrick O'Shaughnessy says the firm "acts as an extension of our team". Colby Donovan of Cambria Investment Management describes the care needed with compliance edits on The Meb Faber Show.

The podcast audit (opens in a new tab) starts with a discovery session and a strategy check (why you are podcasting, for whom, and what listeners should do next), then delivers a one-hour findings call, a written summary and a recorded video of recommendations. The firm has worked since 2015 and says it has especially deep experience with finance and investing shows. Mathew Passy is its founder, and Karl Hughes and Manuel Weiss run it as co-owners.

Ask first
how long will your launch take? Its launch page (opens in a new tab) describes a six-to-eight-week program, while its services page calls it four weeks.

BioLogos started its Language of God podcast with Truth Work Media, and vice president Jim Stump says Michael and the team "walked us through every aspect of the process". Dustin Kaehr of the Lippert Academy for Leadership says the team's ideas for a second season will help it reach more people.

Its services page (opens in a new tab) offers 30- or 60-minute coaching sessions with Michael Yoder, its chief executive, on strategy, equipment, hosting, format and launch planning, on their own or as the first step before production. The launch package includes a 90-minute call with a technical coach and two finished episodes, and the firm says six weeks from kickoff to the first published episode is typical. Its FAQ (opens in a new tab) states that the client owns the feed, recordings and finished files during and after the engagement.

Coaching for leaders who appear on other shows

1 of 9 firms

For some companies the better route is a leader who appears as a guest on podcasts their buyers already listen to. This firm coaches for that.

Guesting 360 website, captured October 2026.

Potential fit
A founder, author or speaker who appears as a podcast guest and wants those interviews to produce leads

Christine Blosdale, who calls herself The Expert Authority Coach, says the Interview Impact Review Guesting 360 did for her helped her "craft a clear, powerful strategy for showing up on podcasts". Guesting 360 is the current name of Smooth Business Growth, whose old web address now redirects to it. Its site is written for business owners, authors and speakers who appear as guests.

It reviews recorded interviews, runs a four-week coaching program on turning interviews into clients, books guest appearances with a partner firm and repurposes interviews into other content. A separate page still offers launch, production and promotion for a company's own show. No prices are published on the pages read.

Start with who the show is for

Before you compare proposals, decide whose attention the show is meant to win. For a new show, check whether those buyers listen to podcasts and which shows they already follow. In a 2021 episode on B2B podcast strategy, I said the biggest mistake people make is a show "focused on their peers and not their prospects. And I got to tell you that I'm a culprit here." My own show began as The Creative Freelancer Show, interviewing other freelancers.

A good consultant asks about this in the first meeting. If a proposal starts with equipment, artwork and download targets, ask how the format and guest list will reach the buyers or partners you care about. A show built for prospects also turns every interview into a reason to talk with someone you want to know.

What to settle before you sign

  1. Decide how much of the work you will keep

    List what your team can do well today: hosting, booking guests, editing, publishing, promotion. If the gap is judgment, an audit or coaching may be enough. If the gap is time, you are buying production with strategy attached, and the consulting is only part of the price.

  2. Ask for a show like yours

    Request examples and references from shows with your kind of audience, format and approval process. A regulated firm should ask how compliance edits are handled, and a company with several stakeholders should ask how they affected the last launch.

  3. Get the scope and terms in writing

    Compare proposals on what the fee buys each month, how many strategy sessions are included, when the first episode is due and who owns the feed, recordings and finished files if you part ways. On the pages read, Truth Work Media's FAQ says the client owns the feed, recordings and finished files during and after the engagement, and Freedom Podcasting says everything it builds sits on the client's own website.

  • Who will work on our show day to day, and which comparable shows have they run?
  • Which strategy, audit or coaching sessions does the fee include, and how often?
  • What exactly does the monthly price cover: episodes, video, guest booking, promotion?
  • When will the first episode publish, and which of our decisions could delay it?
  • Who owns the feed, recordings and finished files during and after the engagement?
  • How will you measure whether the show is working for the business, beyond downloads?
