Podcast Fast Track Content Standards
Podcast Fast Track is NOT for everyone…
By reading our why statement (find it further down this page), you’ll see that we have convictions about some potentially controversial things.
We are not the first to express our convictions through our business. There are many big name sites/companies (like Apple Podcasts) that restrict content they publish or produce based on content “types.” (See an example on Apple’s website here)
These “terms of service” are an attempt to clarify what the people behind the company are willing to work on/with and what they are not.
In the same spirit…
Podcast Fast Track is operated according to our “why statement” principles stated further down this page. That means that like everyone, we have our own particular version of a moral compass that we are committed to following — which especially applies to the type of content we support with our services.
- It does NOT mean a client has to hold to the same standards we do.
- It does NOT mean they have to submit to our standards.
But it does mean that if the content the potential client will be producing is drastically out of line with our stated content guidelins on this page, we’ll kindly, lovingly, gently, and without condescension, decline to work with them.
That doesn’t mean we dislike the person, it simply means we cannot participate in the distribution of content that is inconsistent with our own moral compass – as is the case and must be the case in a free society, with any person of conscience.
- Anyone is free to say, podcast, or broadcast anything they want to say.
- And anyone is free to refuse to participate in the things the other person wants to say.
We apply this principle on a case by case basis and bring it up early in the discussion if we see a potential area of concern.
Should we inadvertantly make a mistake in applying this standard…
There are sometimes situations when we begin working with a client, believing that our content standards and theirs are in alignment, but discover later this is not the case.
In situations like this, we will inform that client of our content standards and work with them to transition their work to another agency that can accomodate their needs.
The SUMMARY of content we don’t work on:
- Pro-abortion related content
- Sexually oriented content of any kind
- LGBTQ+ content of any kind
- Video game oriented content
- New Age, New Thought, or “Law of Attraction” based content
- Religious content of a non-Christian persuasion
- Most pop-culture related content

We believe everyone has a God-given purpose.
…and it’s THAT purpose (for each of our team members and clients) that motivates us to FREE UP THEIR TIME so they can ACCOMPLISH it. We are eager to enable them to do what only they can do in the world.
We believe that caring for our team comes before caring for our clients.
A healthy and empowering culture among our team is vital if we’re going to produce the quality our clients need. For that reason we take care of each other first, our clients second. As a result, our clients get the best people in our niche working on their projects.
We believe that people are more important than things.
That means stuff like profit, timelines, comfort, business, professionalism, work schedules, etc. always come second.
That means we take the extra little bit of time needed to make sure every team member, client, family member, prospective client, or curious person is happy they interacted with us. It means we strive to delight our clients in every service, interaction, or task we do for them.
We believe that truth needs to be spoken.
We believe there really is such a thing as truth. And we want to be its megaphone.
As a result, we carefully choose the clients we will work with in light of their message and mission. Alignment is vital in order for us to work together effectively. We want the “megaphone” of our creative and professional work to be used to promote what’s truly helpful, not the fluffy nonsense, inane chatter, or misleading rhetoric that’s floating around these days.
We believe that we are called to generosity.
The reason we want our business to thrive is because we believe we are called to help solve the problems and meet the needs in our world. It could take the form of needs that arise in the lives of our team members or friends. It could be a problem on a global scale. As a result, a portion of our profits (at least 10%) is donated to charities – as well as the everyday people in need we happen to brush shoulders with.
