He not only was able to help us with the technical aspects, making sure we always sound great and are easy to find on every podcast app, but his extensive experience with podcasting meant he was able to help us in so many other ways as well, giving suggestions for format changes, advice for a recording schedule that we can maintain without burning out, helping us find music for the show, and so much more. He has pushed back whenever I say that we couldn’t do it without him, saying that we would have figured it out on our own, and maybe he is right. But, what I am certain of is that we likely would have quit after only a couple episodes if it wasn’t for all the help he’s provided in almost every aspect of turning the show into a reality. It allows us, as hosts, to focus on making the show as entertaining as possible, knowing that K.O. will always take care of the rest of it.

From taking the time to read my book beforehand, to helping me set up my optimal recording space and providing a reliable digital studio, to identifying my strengths and little details to notice while recording, K.O. took me seriously as a creative partner. I appreciate how clear he made the process.

Throughout the production, K.O. was present and available just enough to give me the confidence and guidance I needed to keep moving forward on my own time. By working this way, K.O. managed to deliver a very big project that needed to happen over a longer time but feel like a cohesive whole, at a good value. The comfort he offered ensured my success in recording my own story, using my own voice.

I highly recommend him to my clients, and to you.

I initially started a podcast because my book manuscript had stalled out. I theorized that talking about the human voice might be infinitely easier than writing about it and I was right, thanks in large part to the fact that I'm working with K.O. 

We spent an hour, maybe two ironing out the details of how we could get stuff done, and honestly, since then, we've just gotten stuff done. By which I mean we've published 38 episodes, one every other week, and I regularly hear from students that they are entertaining and helpful.

Here's how it happens: I record my best thoughts on a topic, or sometimes an interview with a colleague, and then I let it go. The next thing I know, the audio sounds great, the show notes are clear, and I have a transcript to publish on my website. 

We're not hemming and hawing or endlessly debating this, that or the other. K.O. trusts me, I trust him, and the result is, I'm finally making progress on a project that has frustrated me for years. We're helping people without killing trees. Genius.

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.

“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.

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.
