PROCAST Premium Pilot Production

The Premium Pilot Production is designed to give Chiquila Johnson and Cecelia Freeman a professionally produced first podcast episode and a focused promotional content library before committing to a multi-episode production schedule.

This is a pre-recorded vertical video podcast production. Livestreaming and publishing to client accounts are not included.

Set Approval

After the required brand assets have been received, PROCAST will provide a photograph or short video of the prepared set before the recording date.

The branded set will be based on the approved podcast logo, navy, teal, and gold palette, and the materials supplied by the client. Material changes requested after set approval may affect the available recording time.

Editing and Delivery Schedule

The first edited version is normally delivered within 7–10 business days after the recording session.

Chiquila and Cecelia must combine their requested changes into one consolidated, timestamped feedback list. The feedback list should be returned within three business days of receiving the first edit.

Final delivery is normally completed within 3–5 business days after the consolidated feedback is received.

Delivery estimates begin after PROCAST has received all required production materials and approvals.

Included Revision Round

One consolidated revision round is included.

Both hosts must review the first edit and submit one combined list of timestamped changes. Separate or conflicting feedback lists are not included as separate revision rounds.

Additional revision work beyond the included round is billed at $75 per hour.
