Podcast Production
Show Up and Record.
I Produce, Edit, and Publish the Rest.
Remote podcast production on Riverside. I run the live session, edit the episode, and handle hosting, distribution, clips, and show notes. Every month, on schedule. Monthly plans from $999.
Who you're hiring
Matthew Easterday. I founded Storyline Creative, a podcast production company, after 15 years in live production and broadcast. On your sessions I'm the producer. I check each guest's audio before you start and watch it the whole way through, so you can pay attention to the guest instead of the software.

Book sessions or episodes directly, or put the whole show on a monthly plan through Storyline Creative.

Recording on Riverside
Every session records through Riverside. It runs in Chrome or Safari, nothing to install. Each participant is recorded locally on their own device and the tracks sync afterward, so audio quality never depends on anyone's internet connection. You, your guest, and the producer can each be in a different city.
Questions I get
Can you record guests in different cities?
Yes. Each guest is recorded locally on their own computer, so nobody's internet connection affects the final audio. Zoom is also an option when a guest needs it.
Do I need special equipment?
A computer and a decent internet connection. A USB microphone improves the sound, and I'll recommend one for your budget, but it isn't required for the first session. The Accelerator plan includes a starter kit: 4K webcam, studio mic, and key light.
Are there contracts?
No. Storyline plans are month to month with no setup fees. Sessions and single episodes are quoted per job.
What if I don't have a format yet?
A topic and a sense of who you're talking to is enough. Format, episode structure, and positioning get shaped on the onboarding call.
What do I actually have to do each month?
Show up for the recording sessions, typically 45 to 60 minutes each. Reviewing drafts before they go live is optional.
Do you do video podcasts?
Yes. Riverside records local video as well. A multi-camera edit and social clips can be delivered alongside the audio.
