Do you need a big audience to start a business podcast? No. It’s not about reaching everyone, it’s about reaching the right people. A small audience of potential clients soaking in your expertise is worth way more than people who will never give your business a second thought.

Why does specialization help a business grow? Greg Zimmer says it comes down to three things: faster growth, better profitability, and stronger career paths. He’s been building on that foundation since buying the business in 1998, and it still guides the company today.

Sunset 17 is Different
We do great podcasting, but a few things set us apart from other studios:
- FAST (really fast) TURN AROUND
- Access to a full-service agency
- Coaching and distribution strategy
- Social Media strategy
- SEM, SEO, and lead-generation
- E-Mail Campaigns… and more.
Our Services
Lights, Camera, Action.
We are an Orange County podcast studio that comes with full-time (on-site) technical professionals. We are a stand-alone podcast studio, but also backed by an full-service Orange County agency – so we have quite a bit of services to offer.
Start a Podcast
“Can you help me start a podcast?” is one of our most common questions. Jason offers podcasting seminars on most Tuesdays (check the podcasting seminars events tab) that allow you to get all your questions asked in a low-pressure and fun environment. The seminars are in-person and free of charge.
Filming
90% of our podcasts are both video (multiple cameras) and audio. While there are still audio-only podcasts, the data suggests that people like video the most. Plus video allows us to make shorts for the social handles to get the most value out of your precious time.
Editing
We have two full-time editing bays (and engineers) in the studio and our editors come into the studio every day. Editing pricing will vary on the complexity of the shorts.
Distribution
Our team can help you set up the most popular podcast platforms (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, etc.) as well as publish to your websites, most likely using YouTube as the hub of your video library.
Marketing
You’re not just making a podcast, you’re growing a brand. Our team is a business-first team with deep roots in marketing and promotion.
Family Documentaries
This is a newer service for us as we learned that people love to tell their stories using a podcast format. Children and grandchildren and beyond will be thankful that you spent the time to talk about your legacy.
