Add podcast production to the services your clients already pay you for.
You already run the calls, ask the questions and know your clients' story. Record it once and 1st Episode delivers the finished episode, clips, shorts, captions, thumbnails and show notes — published under your brand or theirs.
Want more clients than the ones you have? You won't be prospecting alone — AI-assisted tools find and research businesses in your niche and draft the outreach for you.
One recurring deliverable you can attach to every retainer.
You set your own pricing. Results vary — nothing here is a guarantee of income.
Partners get the Blueprint, sales scripts, pricing guidance and onboarding templates built into the workspace.

One client call — a month of published content
You're not starting a new business. You're adding a deliverable.
You don't find clients alone
AI-assisted prospecting builds and researches a list of businesses in your niche and drafts the outreach for you to send — with support from a team that already built a successful agency in this space.
It renews with the retainer
A show is monthly by nature. It sits next to your coaching or advisory fee and renews on the same cycle instead of being a one-off project.
It makes your work visible
Every session becomes proof: episodes, shorts and quotes your client can point to. Retention gets easier when the value is published.
It fills your own pipeline
Guests on your clients' shows are prospects for you. Hosting conversations is the most natural lead generation a consultant has.
It stacks across clients
The Partner plan runs unlimited brands, so client two and client ten take the same effort as client one.
Your clients already pay you monthly. This is one more thing worth paying for.
From "I should do this" to a client show, in four steps.
Pick two current clients
Start with people who already trust you and have something to say. No cold outreach required for your first shows.
Record the conversation you already have
30-45 minutes in the browser. No studio, no crew, no gear beyond a laptop and a decent mic.
Approve the finished assets
Episode, clips, shorts, captions, thumbnails and show notes come back in about 20 minutes. You review and publish.
Price it into the retainer
Add it as a monthly line item. Use the Partner pricing guidance and proposal templates inside your workspace.
Delivery takes about 20 minutes
Drag the slider through a real production cycle. This is why one person at your agency can run several client shows at once.
Record
Host and guest join the browser studio from anywhere. Nothing to install, nothing to ship.

Partner questions, answered
Do I need podcast or video experience?
No. You bring the client relationship and the interview conversation you already have every week. 1st Episode records it and turns it into the episode, clips, shorts, captions, thumbnails and show notes.
Do I have to find the clients myself?
No — not alone. AI-assisted prospecting inside the platform builds a list of businesses that fit your niche, researches each one and drafts the outreach and follow-ups for you to send. Our team, who already built a successful agency in this space, helps you turn those conversations into retainers. You still run the conversations; results vary and nothing here is a guarantee of clients or income.
How does this fit the services I already sell?
It becomes a monthly retainer line item next to your coaching, consulting or marketing work. Same client, same invoice cycle, new deliverable — and the show keeps producing proof of your client's expertise between sessions.
What should I charge my clients?
You set the price. Partners commonly price a monthly show between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars depending on the market and the client. Results and pricing vary — nothing here is an income guarantee.
How much time does each client take?
A recording runs 30-45 minutes and the platform delivers the finished assets in roughly 20 minutes. You review and approve rather than sitting in an editing timeline.
Can I run several clients under one account?
Yes. The Partner plan runs unlimited brands, so each client gets their own brand, show, artwork and publishing destinations inside one workspace.
Is my client's show branded to them or to 1st Episode?
To them, or to you. Every brand carries its own logo, colors, lower thirds and thumbnails. You choose whether the production is white-labeled under your practice.
