The PFT team is the real deal. If you need someone to help you with your podcast, look no further.
Carey and the PFT team are outstanding to work with. They are fast, reliable, and very responsive to any concerns or questions I have. I’ve been working with them for years and they have never once missed a deadline. I always recommend Podcast Fast Track to other podcasters. They’re fantastic!
Podcast Fast Track have become an invaluable partner in the production of the Sales Reinvented Podcast, taking care of the production, editing and uploading of our episodes to the creation of the high-quality shownotes, episode guides and social media marketing we use to promote them as well. I highly recommend the PFT Team, Jennifer in particular is a superstar!
Podcast Fast Track was the first hire I made as an indie podcaster and I am SO thankful I did all those years ago! Offloading my editing needs created space for me to maintain my creativity as the host. I’ve worked with Carey and his wonderful team of editors and copywriters on multiple podcasts and have loved my experience. They are positive, helpful and always there for the random snaffus that are bound to pop up for one man/woman podcasters.
The PFT team has been great to work with! They make recording a podcast significantly easier because the only things we have to worry about is creating the content and recording it. Then, their team does the rest. For anyone interested in recording a podcast, I’d highly recommend leveraging their expertise, so you can focus on your value add which is the content/recording of the podcast.
Carey and the PFT team are extremely reliable, thorough and effective at delivering high quality podcast production. Time and time again, they have come through for me on my Modern Marketing Engine podcast. Carey’s self proclaimed title “Client Happiness Guy” is spot on. That’s exactly what he delivers to clients.
The Podcast Fast Track team are extremely professional and creative in the way they serve us. They have provided great ideas and their editing and show notes are very well done. Everything happens on time, and the quality is excellent. You won’t be sorry that you engaged Carey and the entire team at PFT!
Carey Green
Founder, Podcaster, Client Happiness Guy
Carey published his first-ever podcast episode on July 4, 2012. He thought it was a great way to supplement his teaching role as a Pastor of a small church (at the time).
He quickly found a new form of communication that he was certain would change the world.
After experiencing the pain points podcasters face first-hand for a number of years, a friend he was helping with some audio work said, “You should start a business that does this”… and he thought it was a great idea.
To date, Carey has published seven podcasts of his own, four which continue to this day, one which published daily and receives over 12,000 episode downloads within the first 24 hours of publication (that’s amazingly good, in case you didn’t know).
He’s also served hundreds of clients as Founder and Client Happiness Guy of Podcast Fast Track, provides launch and show development coaching, and more.
Carey is always open to calls or texts from clients with questions about podcasting or anything else.
His philosophy is that successful clients mean our team is doing something right, and he wants to empower that success any way he can.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Podcast Services
What if I've never done a podcast before? Where should I start?
We LOVE working with new podcasters. Your enthusiasm and starry-eyed excitement keep us going!
But you’re smart enough to know that you don’t know what you’re doing – right?
And it’s likely not the best use of your time to watch YouTube video after YouTube Video to figure it out on your own.
That’s why we have two options for you…
#1 – Our “How To Podcast Step By Step Course” (for those of you who like to get your hands dirty but want someone who’s been there to tell you what you need to know).
#2 – Our One on One Podcast Training (for those who want a guide very step of the way)
Until you complete one of those options, or get some experience under your belt some other way – we’re not able to help with your podcast production services.
So we suggest you find out more about both of those options so we can get you started right away!
So tell me how the podcast editing service works...
Our podcast editing service is about more than removing “umms” and “uhhhs.”
It’s about making the incredible content you’re recording even better.
We do that by focusing on two things.
#1 – Comprehension. We want to do everything we can to make what you’re saying, understood. That means technically (removing background noise, glitches, etc.) and, we work with the very words said in your audio to make them better understood (removing or modifying things that are distracting or unneeded).
#2 – Enjoyment & Enrichment. You’re doing your podcast to help people, right? We want to make the listening experience so smooth and easy, your listeners have no trouble getting what you’re trying to communicate.
We can’t give you that kind of quality by outsourcing the audio work to places that will do it for the lowest cost. We have to keep it in-house, with our own professional team of audio editors who not only know their craft and their software at expert levels, but who also go through OUR specific training to ensure they are editing according to those two criteria.
Our editors are among the best in the world. And it’s not bragging if it’s true.
Now THAT is a professional podcast production service like you deserve.
Find out more about our incredible audio editing services.
How long of a commitment do you require?
Uhhh… none.
We do sign a service agreement with clients just so we all understand what podcast production services we’ll be doing for you – but there’s no term clients are locked into.
With a two-week notice either we or you can cancel services at any time for any reason.
Would I have an assigned member of your team, or just whoever is available?
You get your own personal editor or writer.
In fact, we HATE it that some podcasting services bounce their clients from team member to team member in order to cut costs.
Where’s the world-class service in that?
After a 2-ish week period just after our clients come onboard, we hand-select the team member we feel best suits your needs as a client, then we make a personal introduction so you know exactly who is working on your podcast production week to week.
You’ll be able to connect with that person anytime you want – work out details – refine things as you go – even change stuff as you like.
Our team of professionals can handle it. Guaranteed.
Can you help me promote my show?
Yes. Yes we can. Sort of… 😉
You’re about to learn THE formula for a successful podcast… ready?
Great content + Consistency + Time = Success
The consistency piece is where promotional efforts come in. You want to be letting people KNOW ABOUT your great content or else… well, they won’t know about it. 😉
We have a handful of monthly subscription services aimed at helping your podcast get the attention it needs in order to help the people you’re trying to help.
Currently, here’s the main thing we do to help get your show noticed…
- SEO Optimized show notes (yes, they help your show get noticed)
And coming soon…
- Motion Clips for Social Media (They are called “Audiograms” – you’ve seen them… find out how you can get them for your episodes)
- Podcast consulting (get professional feedback to incrementally improve what you’re already doing well)
- Podcast Launch Strategy (how to make the most of your podcast’s debut. No guarantees, because effectiveness depends on your efforts – but you’ll have the tools you need to make it happen)
Show notes too, huh? What makes yours so special?
Show notes are a pain. We know. But they are an extremely vital part of your podcast production.
Sure, you don’t have to have show notes in order to publish a good quality podcast. But show notes do some amazing things for you that honestly, most podcasters don’t give enough thought to.
#1 – Show notes serve your listeners as a great resource (think: episode descriptions on the podcast player they are able to access immediately)
#2 – Show notes work WITH the way the internet works – present-day, content is found primarily through text. So you need to have relevant, interesting, appealing text on a page somewhere in order to have a CHANCE at getting your posts found.
#3 – Show notes are an EXCELLENT way to show potential guests how you feature them!
Find out more about the benefits of great show notes.
How quickly do you turn around work for your clients?
That’s a smart question. And the answer is: IT DEPENDS. 😉
If you are one of our great “audio editing only” clients, or one of our “show notes only” clients, the turnaround time is 72hours – from the time we receive your content to the time you can expect it to be scheduled or provided to you.
If you are what we refer to as a COMBO client (doing both audio production and show notes with us) then your turn around time is 96 hours – from the time we receive your content to the time you can expect it to be scheduled or provided to you.
And you need to know this too:
Those time frames DO NOT include weekends (we never ask our team to work over the weekend).
And one more thing – if you add additional services to any of those services (episode images, promotional motion videos, lead magnets, etc.) then you can expect a tad more time will be required.
How does the workflow work?
Systems, systems, systems! We LOVE systems!
That’s how we ensure we can give you quality podcast production services every single episode.
All of our services hinge on the efficient use of Dropbox and Google Docs – primarily.
Clients will need accounts with both of those service providers – and the free accounts they offer may be enough.
In a nutshell, here’s what happens…
- You hit the “stop” button on your recording
- You provide us your resources
- Our audio editor gets the audio portion done (if applicable)
- Our show notes writer goes into creation mode (if applicable)
- Your resources are scheduled where and how you want them
- We do it all again for the next episode
We’ve thought it through and figured it out, and experience it running smoothly for clients week after week, episode after episode.
We are NOT one of those “figure it out as we go” podcast production services.
We’ve got this thing wired so you don’t have any reason to worry.
I'm ready to hire you for my podcast production. What are the next steps?
