STRATEGY, CONCEPT, PRODUCTION, AND MARKETING FOR PODCASTS AND OTHER AUDIO CONTENT.
WHY PING?
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHOW UP
We know that your time is extremely valuable, so we provide turnkey solutions that use as little of it as possible.
Show concept, sonic identity, editing, show notes, guest outreach, and marketing - We can do it all.
GREAT SOUND IS A GIVEN
If you want to be taken seriously, your content needs to sound good.
Fortunately, with new online recording platforms, and AI sound enhancement tools, you don’t need a studio to capture great audio. We’ll make sure you sound great.
QUICK TURNAROUND
For short-format shows, we promise 48-hour turnaround. For longer and narrative shows, it may take a little longer to deliver great content at speed.
HOST WITH THE MOST
If becoming an interviewer and show-host isn’t one of your life goals, we can host the show on your behalf.
We’ll work closely with you to ask the right questions, tell the right stories, and lend your content an extra edge of professionalism.

INTERNAL - Low-friction onboarding, training, recruitment, and culture-building.
You can bring new team members up to speed quickly, keep remote and hybrid companies on the same page with regular updates, and show potential team members how awesome it is to work with you.

We’re starved for connection, not attention.
Recent Client Work
podcast - The RT Lounge - Business turnaround, not rescue.
Created on behalf of BTD Design, I host this show for the RT Group, a company that specialises in business turnaround (not rescue!)
This is a classic example of a really niche topic, a client who is an industry-leader, and a deep dive into an industry that is vaguely understood (at best) by most people.
The HArd Way - What I learned in 5 days of not catching a fish, Part 1
The Hard Way is a show I produced for Just Like Papa, an outdoors and survival retail store in Cape Town. The show features stories of adventure from its founder, Thomas Ferreira.
However, in this episode, I went with Thomas and friends on a fly-fishing adventure, and got to report from the front lines. The Hard Way.
This is the story of Just Like Papa's 5-day fishing trip to Karoolskraal fishing camp near Witsand in the Western Cape.
Change in one generation
The Change in One Generation Podcast, hosted by journalist and author, Ruda Landman, and change expert and academic, Dr Frank Magwegwe, dives into the change stories of fascinating South Africans who’ve risen above difficult circumstances to achieve great success in their respective fields.
I produced and edited this show on behalf of BrightRock Insurance and the Change Exchange, who are building a library of content around “Change Science”.
Recent Personal Work
Moving to the UK, with Sam Beckbessinger
In this show, I interview South Africans who have emigrated, to find out why they left SA, how they left, and what their experience has been like in their new life.
I also interview some experts in fields like financial emigration, shipping, pet emigration, and more.
MindScape Meditations - The Beach
This is the pilot episode of Mindscape Meditations, titled "The Beach".
Mindscape meditations are like yoga for the imagination. They are ten-minute meditative visualisations that take listeners on a journey to serene locations and experiences where they can stretch their creativity.
This pilot has been produced with Health & Wellness brands in mind.
Ten episode have already been written and are waiting for production and because the production process is relatively simple, this is a budget-friendly show.
Off the Grid - A practical guide to shedding load-shedding
This show is passion project, designed to help South Africans navigate load-shedding and alternative energy.
It’s the most complex show I’ve built so far and I’m proud of it. My goals in creating this show are to reach more than 50 000 downloads.
Radio & Interactive Audio
Herotel Radio - The Internet is waiting for you
These radio spots demonstrate the style of radio writing that comes easiest to me. High paced wordplay, alliteration, and assonance that stands out from standard hard-sell spots.
City of Cape Town - Fire Prevention Radio
Fires can rage out of control in informal settlements across South Africa, destroying homes and taking lives.
In this multilingual series of ads, innocuous items like paraffin stoves, cigarettes, and candles become terrifying monsters.
I’m proud and thankful for the truly great voice acting in this series.
Sanlam Virtual Marathon - Locational Audio
When the pandemic hit, marathons were on hold, indefinitely. However, the organisers of the Sanlam Cape Town Marathon decided to produce a virtual marathon.
Runners could run when and where they wanted to, but a series of immersive audio clips were triggered as they completed distance milestones, recreating the actual route of the Cape Town Marathon.
We produced 30+ audio clips in which our host pointed out landmarks, shared interesting fact and historical notes, described the virtual scene to the runners, and worked in virtual brand content for the race sponsors.
Just For Fun
What if James Bond was…kinda evil?
This short comedy radio play is an experiment on what can be achieved with voice talent on Fiverr, all recorded remotely with no direction beyond a text brief.
The result? A fun piece, but some of the performances are flat.
Another comedy fantasy story with a great Fiverr voice actor, and me playing the singing sword.
