Can I get a podcast episode edited fast?
Yes. When an episode needs to go out quickly, Stimulate offers rush 48-hour turnaround for +30%. It's best for timely topics, news, events and launches. Clean audio, clear notes on anything to cut and a confirmed release time help a fast edit go smoothly.
When is rush editing worth it?
- The topic is tied to news or an event and loses value with every day.
- A launch or announcement date is fixed.
- A guest's availability means an episode was recorded late.
- A technical problem pushed your schedule back.
How do I help a rush edit go smoothly?
Send the files as soon as recording ends, flag anything to cut, confirm the release time and channels, and keep the episode focused. If a live producer was in the session, their timestamp notes speed things up even more.
How does rush pricing work?
Rush 48-hour turnaround is +30% on top of the normal cost of the work. Standard turnaround is within 3 days for full episodes, and clips can go up the same day when they are time-sensitive.
Should my whole show be on rush?
Usually not. A steady recording schedule that stays ahead of release dates is cheaper and less stressful. Rush is a safety valve for the episodes that need it.
How does rush fit with standard turnaround?
Standard turnaround is within 3 days for full episodes, and time-sensitive clips can go up the same day. Rush is for when a full episode needs to be ready within 48 hours, such as a timely topic or an event. It is +30% on the cost of the work.
How do I prepare for a rush edit?
- Send files as soon as the recording ends.
- List anything that must be cut.
- Confirm the release time.
- Approve the draft quickly so publishing is not delayed.
