Castaways Park with Will O'Neill
Some stories are better told where they’re happening. Sunset 17 can take production on location when the setting is part of the story.
For this Newport Beach production, the team joined then-Mayor Will O’Neill for a walk-and-talk through the Field of Honor at Castaways Park, capturing the conversation and the setting on location.

Can podcasting help my business show up in ChatGPT, Gemini and AI search?
Potentially—and this page is an example of how we think about it.
Podcasting creates original expert conversations. Those conversations can become video, transcripts, direct answers, articles and structured website content that search engines and AI systems can discover and understand.
Real expertise → original conversation → useful answers → structured content → distribution → measurement.
