The difference
Not a booth in a co-working space.

Most podcast studios in NYC are a closet with a mic on a boom arm. This is a real in-person podcast studio in Union Square Manhattan — a treated room with a multi-mic setup, a board that gets run by hand, and decades of knowing how to make a room disappear so the person in it does their best work. The right place to rent a podcast studio in NYC when audio quality and an operator who actually knows the board both matter.

Carlos Montoya: A/V specialist since the early nineties, former TEDx Bushwick executive producer. When you book this room, you’re not booking square footage — you’re booking everything learned holding it.

What you get
A real studio, your show.

The Mics

Host on a Rode PodMic; guests on matched Shure SM58s — or additional PodMics on request. All standard included gear, monitored through a Soundcraft UI24R board.

The Room

A treated acoustic space that sounds like a studio, not an apartment. 13-foot ceilings, daylight when you want it. The detail is in what you don’t hear.

The Board

Run by hand, in real time, by an operator who’s done it for 30+ years. You talk; the tech disappears.

Video

Single-camera Sony FX6 with a full lighting grid for a clean video podcast, shot by an operator. Audio-only or on camera — your call.

The Location

873 Broadway in the Flatiron, one block from Union Square. Easy for you and easy for your guests to reach.

The Operator

Run the audio board yourself, or add an operator — 30+ years of reading a room, placing a mic, and knowing when to stay quiet.
