My Role
From 2020 to 2025 I handled post-production for KoopCast, a research-driven ultrarunning podcast hosted by Jason Koop, across 220+ episodes. Each week I edited and mastered the audio, cut the multi-camera remote video episodes for YouTube, pulled short clips, and wrote show notes and SEO descriptions, designed thumbnails, and handled uploads.
Thumbnails I designed
One episode, two formats
#239 Durability in Ultrarunning: square podcast cover and 16:9 YouTube thumbnail

Every Week
Audio
Cleaned and repaired the raw recordings in Adobe Audition with noise reduction and filtering. Made Jason’s requested edits, tightened long pauses, and mixed up to four guests with leveling, EQ and compression. Added intro and outro music, then QC’d and exported the episode.
Video
Cut the full episode with its intro and outro in DaVinci Resolve and mixed in the music. Added and corrected captions, and made a captioned YouTube Short for each episode.
Publishing
Built the KoopCast YouTube channel from scratch, including its branding, header art, graphics and SEO. Each week I designed the thumbnail in Photoshop. Then I scheduled the episode on Buzzsprout and the episode and Short on YouTube, each with its title, description, tags and playlist, uploaded the final files to Google Drive and let Jason know.
