MY STORY

I'm K.O. Myers, Founder and Executive Producer of Particulate Media. I grew up in South Jersey and spent most of my adult life in Philly and Des Moines, Iowa.
These days I live just inside the Beltway in Maryland, with my wonderful, talented, and supportive partner Natalie and two adorably ill-behaved dogs. (read more)

MY APPROACH

With a little practice, almost anyone (or an A.I. of middling complexity) can learn to edit raw audio. They can cut out a few "ums," knock down some background noise, and slap some music underneath the beginning and end of your voiceover. So why should you hire an editor?

TESTIMONIALS

  • Having a podcast has been a dream of mine for a while now and the dream came true when I was serendipitously introduced to K.O. Myers. If you can imagine an all expense paid luxury vacation with all the FABULOUS extras and turn that into a person, I'd say that is K.O., as a human and a podcast producer. He is the biggest supporter and encourager, helps drown out naysayers or self doubt one might experience, patiently answers all of my "silly" questions and honestly makes my voice sound like BUTTAHHH. SO because of my hard work and ALL OF K.O.'s magic in the editing studio, I am in love with how my podcast was birthed and where it is headed. As the kids say, "10/10 would recommend!"

    -Christina Elmer, host of "Leaving in Color"

  • K.O. has improved the quality of my show. The show is literally better since I began working with him. I’ve had so much more feedback from listeners - letting me know how impactful an episode was for them. And that means everything to me because I really want to put a high quality conversation out into the world. One that truly helps someone.

    The thing about K.O. that has been very different from working with other podcast professionals in my 5 years of podcasting; he goes way beyond technical editing. He is such an informed modern human with great values. He is the opposite of a mainstream man stuck in a “male privilege” blindspot. He cares about the content of my show. He cares about the listener’s experience. I guess that’s the bottom line: He fucking cares! And that’s a big deal to me. I’m so proud to say that I work with K.O. Myers and I look forward to continuing our working relationship as long as he’ll have me.

  • Okay: to really understand my praise of K.O. and Particulate Media, you have to know I have very, VERY high standards for my work. Even though I was brand new to podcasting when I started working with K.O., I already had lofty desires for Mind Witchery. I wanted it to be potent, evocative, and beautiful in every way, from content to cover to sound to show notes.

    Press play on an episode, and I think you’ll hear why I get emails every week saying how lovely my voice sounds and how grounding and soothing the show is. K.O. has given me a lot of guidance for creating better raw recordings, and then his expert audio editing makes me sound like an angel – that’s my voice, but ten times lovelier (ask my kids). As a fastidious and savvy editor of my content, K.O. goes above and beyond: he’s fact-checked my guests, suggested ways to make my presentations clearer, and helped smooth out awkward moments in interviews. Oh, and he writes excellent show notes in MY voice, and he always finds the perfect moment in the show to turn into an audiogram.

    I was a very beginner to the world of podcasting just a few months ago, but thanks to K.O, you’d never know that from listening to my incredibly polished episodes and looking at my extraordinary (and always growing!) download numbers. I cannot recommend a better audio producer for people committed to creating excellent work, and hoping for stellar results.

  • “K.O. makes podcast publishing easy, efficient, and joyful for me. I simply record and send it to Particulate. Done! Much more than just an audio editor, I honestly feel like I have a support team behind my podcast. Now my podcast has over 30,000 downloads and is no longer a pipe dream.”

    Host of Seriouslyourself

  • “I have been running a podcast for 5 years now, and I have been through my fair share of producers. I have wasted so much money on the wrong people. What I really wanted was a sound engineer. Someone who didn't just run my audio through a standard filter, but someone who could make my podcast sound great. I have absolutely loved working with K.O. He is fantastic with sound, a great writer, on time and efficient. I never have to worry about the process and that is exactly why you should hire him.”

    — Sonya Stattmann
    Host of Reclaiming Ourselves, Women in the Business Arena, and The Feminine Lens

  • “From start to finish he was incredibly easy to work with, walked me through all of the options and made me feel heard and supported in making this project a reality. He was able to explain different components I would need from equipment to software and was always helpful in my decision-making process. He was prompt in responses, was excellent with my time, and has continued to be a very dependable partner. Look no further for your podcast partner needs!

  • “I needed quick help fixing a few items on my podcast. Particulate Media came to the rescue with prompt, responsive, and high-quality service. K.O. went above and beyond to make the changes needed in my requested time frame, as well as some additional tweaks that left the audio sounding better than ever.”
