01What one session produces
Record once. Every piece arrives finished and ready for the platforms you post on.
The show is cut as it is recorded, and every camera and microphone is also captured on its own, so the edit starts from a finished program and can still recover any moment the switch missed.
The session
One five-hour morning
- Up to four episodes recorded
- Three cinema cameras, switched live
- Host plus up to four guests in the room
- Every voice on its own track
- Designed lighting, treated room
For each episode, up to four
Launching a show?
Add a show build: a graphics package designed for your show, cover and channel art, and host portraits, so episode one already looks like a series. It is an add-on to any session. See add-ons.
02The clip library
We find the moments. You pick what to post.
After the session, the whole conversation becomes a private library on the web. Every strong moment is cut, captioned and tagged by who it speaks to and what job it does in a post. Search what was said, build a post, and send it back to us if it needs an edit. The library comes with every Lab Session; cuts you order from it are priced on the add-on list.

03On the stage
Run like a broadcast, so the host only has to chat.
An operator handles everything technical. Your attention stays on the guest.
Switched live
Three cinema cameras cut in real time, so the edit starts from a finished program. Each camera also records on its own.
Remote guests
On the set monitor and in the edit, with the connection checked on the day and monitored while you record. $195 per guest.
Teleprompter
For intros, sponsor reads and solo pieces. Standard on Lab Solo.
Four sets on one stage
The 1,800 sq ft stage has a pre-lit cyclorama that takes a color wash, so your show gets its own look without building a set. Sit in the lounge, walk in on the cyc, bring up slides or a remote guest on a TV on a rolling stand, or go green screen with a moving background, all in one session. Other furniture and layouts are available: tell us the show you have in mind.
04How the Lab compares
Most podcast rooms sell you time in a room. The Lab delivers the show and the socials.
Here is how each part of a session compares with what Denver podcast studios typically offer.
05Prices
Broadcast-quality episodes, built around your ideas.
One morning on our stage gives you a month of episodes, so your expertise shows up every week where your customers already are. A crew, cinema cameras and a set arranged for your format, with finished files ready to post. One price covers the session and the edit: record three or four episodes and each one comes back finished for under $1,000.

07Questions
What people ask before they book.
01How much does a video podcast session cost at Skytheory?
A Lab Session is $2,750 before sales tax. That is one five-hour morning in our Denver studio with crew and three cameras switched live, recording up to four episodes. Each episode comes back finished, up to one hour, with two social clips for your favorite platforms, and the whole session becomes a library to build on what's working. A one-person Lab Solo, with an operator, is $1,199.
02Why does a Lab Session cost $2,750?
Because it is a finished month, not an hour in a room. Record three or four episodes in the morning and each one costs under $1,000, with everything it takes already inside: the crew, three cinema cameras switched live, the edit, two socials per episode and the clip library. Most Denver podcast rooms rent the room by the hour and sell the edit and the clips separately, so you finish the show yourself. Here, you leave with the episodes made.
03Do you produce series?
Yes. A series records on a standing date all season, and as an add-on we can build the show's look before episode one: a graphics package designed for your show, cover and channel art, and host portraits. We price a series from the deliverables you choose. Ask for a quote.
04Do I get the raw footage?
No. We deliver finished files, and we keep your whole session for 90 days so you can order more cuts from it.
05How many people can be on the show?
A host plus up to four guests in the room at one price. Remote guests are $195 each: every remote guest is a separate recording we sync and conform in the edit, and we check the connection on the day and monitor it while you record.
06What if we run long?
Sessions run five hours. Each hour beyond that is $295.
07How fast do we get the episodes?
The first episode about five business days after the session, then one a week.
08Is the set always the two lounge chairs?
No. The chairs are one setup. We have other furniture and layouts, and the cyclorama takes a color wash, so the set can be built around your show. Tell us what you have in mind on the first call.
09Can I just rent the studio?
Yes. Studio-only rental is $525 for a five-hour half day or $899 for a full day, with your own crew. See studio rentals.
10Who owns what you deliver?
You can use everything we deliver anywhere you post, for as long as you like. There is no license to renew.
