Yes. You can book the podcast studio by the hour, or choose one of our ready-to-record packages — perfect if you want to walk in and start creating without worrying about setup.

$75/hr (Mon–Thu) or $95/hr (Fri–Sun), 3-hour minimum.
This covers the studio space, lounge, parking, power, and bonus 3-point lighting setup (Neewer kit).
