What you get
More than a room with microphones
Record your video podcast in a broadcast television studio. The same turnkey multi-camera system and broadcast-ready sets we run for interview shows and newscasts become your podcast studio, in Burbank, the Media Capital of the World, and Albuquerque, NM. Pick a set, sit down and tape; lighting and audio are rigged before you arrive, and crew is optional.
A typical podcast studio rental gives you a table, two chairs and a couple of locked-off cameras. Ours gives you a broadcast production. The set is virtual: a photoreal studio that appears around you live, in camera, on our stage, and you see the finished shot on the monitor while you tape. Your show can look like a network studio, a late-night desk, a newsroom or something no one has seen before, and the look changes in seconds, not days. Here is what the rental covers:
- The studio and your pick of 250+ ready-to-load virtual sets. Looks swap in seconds between episodes
- Lighting, grip and audio already on the floor, so you do not rent them separately
- The operator who runs the virtual sets, so you never hire a systems team
- Patented CastleVision pipeline. The set you see on the monitor is the finished shot
- The teleprompter system (beam-splitter and presidential prompters in Burbank), with a prompter operator available as an add-on
- Audience seating for live tapings at both studios, stadium-style in Burbank
- Green rooms, makeup, dressing rooms and production offices on site
Want a crew? The optional crew package adds three camera operators (one on the jib) and a teleprompter operator, or bring your own team. Every show is quoted to its own taping, not a rack rate: see what drives the cost, or read how CastleVision works.

How a taping day works

Pick your look
Browse 250+ ready-to-film sets, from an intimate two-chair interview look to a full network studio, and shortlist the ones that fit your show. We load your set before you arrive.

Walk in and tape
Lighting, audio and the teleprompter system are on the floor, with multi-camera coverage and the operator who runs the virtual sets at the desk. Swap set looks in seconds between segments. No strike, no reset.
-
Leave with the show
Every camera captures the finished environment in the shot. Final pixels in camera, so your episode goes straight to edit instead of waiting on compositing.
Recording a series? Your set is a virtual environment, so episode twelve looks exactly like episode one, with no strike, no rebuild and no storage fees between seasons.

Podcast studio rental questions
- What does a podcast studio rental include?
- Every rental is turnkey: the studio, lighting, grip and audio, your choice of 250+ ready-to-load virtual sets, the teleprompter system, the operator who runs the virtual sets, and green rooms, makeup, dressing rooms and production offices on site. An optional crew package adds three camera operators (one on the jib) and a teleprompter operator, or you can bring your own team. You bring the host and the guests.
- Can we tape a video podcast in front of a live audience?
- Yes. Both studios seat an audience for live tapings, and our Burbank stage has stadium-style seating, so you can record your show the way networks tape theirs.
- Do you have podcast studios in both Los Angeles and Albuquerque?
- Yes, two studios: Burbank, California, the Media Capital of the World, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, a Qualified Production Facility where qualifying film and TV productions can earn the state’s 30% refundable film tax credit. Both run the same patented CastleVision pipeline.
- How is this different from a typical podcast studio?
- Most podcast studios are a room with a table and a couple of locked-off cameras. This is a working broadcast television studio, with a multi-camera Unreal Engine pipeline, swappable broadcast sets, and an optional crew package. Kevin Hart’s Hart to Heart shot on our Burbank stage.
- Can we change our set between episodes?
- Yes. Sets load in seconds. Keep one signature look across the whole season for brand consistency, or switch worlds between segments without striking a single flat. Browse the set library ahead of time and we’ll have your looks queued up for the taping.
- Is there a rate card for podcast studio rental?
- No. Every taping is quoted individually, never from a rack rate. The price depends on shoot days, crew size, set complexity and which studio you use. Tell us your format, episode count and dates and a producer replies with a quote.
