There is a maximum number of schools that can be properly represented by a service likes ours. Currently, we believe that the number 365.. one for every day of the week!

Whatever the number is, our priority will always be to represent our partners in the best possible light. We intend to offer as much value as possible over time and will continually improve the value proposition for our members.

CPod Media is a podcast production company that specializes in working with partners in specific niche business areas to add significant value by helping them influence decisions before they are made.

We work across finance, property and the education markets and are based out of the UAE although all our dedicated and committed team work remotely and live internationally.

The recording process is really easy snd we do all we can to make it as pleasurable and enjoyable as possible. Please take a look at the appropriate sections in the site for the detail you require but in short:

1. Prepare for the interview by listening to an episode or two
2. Read the questions! and make sure you have all the answers to the detailed questions at hand.
3. Make sue that the sound set up is right. It is a podcast, after all!
4. We record in video so please use a good quality camera and that your background is the one that you wish others to see. Make sure the camera Len is clean!
5. Please ensure that your face is well light.
6. Relax and don't worry...

This is what you need for a high quality recording:

• A relatively new computer with plenty of hard disk space
• An internet connection... the faster and more stable the better
• A microphone: in a headset or separate. The one in your computer is not very high quality
• A video camera. HD is best they are cheaply available if you want the best quality. If you don't mind being a bit blurry, then your computer camera will just about work!

No... but it helps! Honestly, a pair of AirPods or event the wired ear plug solution with a built in mic works well.

If you want to go to the next level there are a variety of options but one of the popular Blue Yeti from Logitech.

Yes. Our system records in high quality video. Unlike zoom or Google meet, we record HD video to your hard disk and then it is uploaded into our servers. The quality can be great if your camera is high quality.

Read the questions, have the data you need, test the equipment and relax!

Show who you are, talk with energy and passion and relax and enjoy the process.

Simple!

We use riverside.fm

Sure!

The truth is that if you have ever participated in a zoom call then you can record a podcast episode with us. If you have any problems with the set up just ask around for some help. We'll be there, of course, to support if you need anything at all.

High definition... if your camera, internet connection and computer allows it...

No. The slower connections do not alter the recording quality, just the upload speeds. If your connection is slower you may need to stay on the connection after the recording has finished until the data has been uploaded.

After recording we hand the files over the files to the production team to work their magic. They will edit the video and clean up the audio. Anything repeated or any errors will be edited out.

After that the graphic work will be completed and the episode will be uploaded into our network and the promotion work will get started.

Podcast episodes are published initially to Spotify's podcast network and the distributed across all major podcast networks including Apple Podcasts and over 150 others.

In terms of promotion, we have a wide range of partners and networks that we use to distribute, share and promote each individual episode. We promise all our members that we will grow their reach by working hard to promote them as a school and their episodes.

There are loads of ways to promote effectively. We have a whole section on our site dedicated to supporting schools get the most from their membership. You can find it here.

Please check beck frequently as we regularly post new ideas on how to really effectively promote your  episodes.

Good question. How long is a piece of string?!

In reality we can ensure a minimum number of downloads through our large subscriber base and listener body. However, this is a shared endeavour and together we can achieve even more. Schools that regularly promote their episode and follow our advice when it comes sharing and embedding reap the rewards when it comes to exposure an reach.

Like everything in the social sharing world, the more you share and the bigger the network the deeper your reach.

Many schools believe that they can gain the same impact by making their own in-house podcast. This is simply not the case.

In house episodes only reach your existing contact group and rarely open doors to others outside of your network. By participating in public podcast you broaden both your reach and your own network. Together, we are much stronger than on our own.

Nothing is paid, 'up front'.

Production fees are either paid as part of a subscription plan or a single payment to be paid at the time of publication. Please check the pricing page for details around specific payment plans.

We us PayPal as our payment processor. Their global network is unrivalled and schools can use any credit or debit card to settle invoices.

We do not accept back transfers or other forms of payment.

A fee currently set at 8% is charged in addition to all productions fees to cover the banking charges that we incur.

Taxes are dealt with on a country by country basis. In some locations we are required to collect VAT and in others not.

No. We only accept credit or debit cards.

The Banking Fee is currently set at 8%. It is designed to cover the banking and transfer cost that we incur as a result of doing business.This fee is, unfortunately, non negotiable.

Monthly plans enable you to pay your membership and production fees over 12 equal payments but you are liable to pay the full annual fee for membership.

At the end of the 12 month membership period you are able to cancel your membership but not before.

One involves monthly payments the other is an annual payment. Paying annually is the most cost effective option however monthly payments allow you to drip feed your membership charge into your operational costs.

The choice is yours.

Occasionally we offer discounts to schools but this is not a general practice. If you feel that our pricing is too high, please talk to us and we'll try to convince you of the value that we add!

Please talk to us about this. We are open to suggestions and ideas in this regard.

Just send us a mail and we will do the necessary to cancel your subscription at the end of your annual payment plan.
