"Area Code Audio has been wonderful through every stage: self-discovery process, vibe, unique appeal, content, editing. We launched the first season of our podcast with strong feedback about its quality and content. Area Code has both the artistic and technical support we needed. We couldn't imagine doing it without them!"

"Richard’s experience with and knowledge of the podcasting world were invaluable as we began engaging with this particular medium.

Richard was able to address typical nonprofit budgetary concerns through customized ideas and solutions that fit our requirements while still meeting our organizational goals.”

Jon Houghton, CEO
Holy Post Media

“Working with Area Code Audio was so encouraging. They were so generous with educating me about the industry I was stepping into. There is a certain amount of specific industry expertise that is needed, but if you work with Area Code, you don’t actually have to have that.”

Josefa Gonzalez, Director of Communications
Philos Project

“Working with Richard on our organization’s podcast was invaluable. He helped us narrow our focus and create the first season’s concept and theme. He gave us the space to think through important questions early on, which saved us time in the end as we were developing our subsequent seasons.”

Mimi L. Larson, Executive Director
The Center for Faith and Children

“Richard believed in us and our mission. I felt like he was not just a partner but part of our team. I have often said that this was the best investment we made.”

Russ Whitfield, Lead Pastor

“From the very beginning of our podcast journey, Area Code Audio was an invaluable partner, guiding us through every step of the process with expertise, patience, and creativity. Whether it was refining our concept, understanding our unique voice, making sure we had the right equipment, or mastering the technical details and the strategic plan, Area Code Audio ensured that our podcast launch was smooth and successful. His attention to detail and deep knowledge of the industry gave us the confidence to focus on what mattered most.”

Sarah Dahl, Founder
We Wonder

“The We Wonder Podcast owes its shape, sound, and much of its success to our partnership with Area Code Audio. Richard and his team took the time to ask good questions, understand the “why” behind the podcast, and they bought into the vision 100% and ensured it was reflected at every point in production.”
