Pro gear, a creative producer and excellent studios all in a super convenient and centralized location. I enjoyed recording a podcast with Blake and am super impressed with what he has done building out his studios. And he is also an excellent podcast host!
Other studios were going to charge me almost double the price for doing less than Nast. Other "studios" use that word as a marketing tool and that's it. Most of the other places aren't setup as a podcast studio and their prices look cheap too begin with but after all the add ons their prices are insane for how bad the production is.
The Nast studio, audio and video quality was high above the others I've been to. The lighting was professional, unlike another that just had a different color key light and charged a ton more. This was my 5th podcast but I wish I would've found this place at the beginning. The owner was hands on and made everything easy. I didn't know what I wanted done differently besides improving my podcast quality at first but his advice made the difference to make my podcast look professional and unique.
The value and quality Nast has, my podcasts future can't afford to be done anywhere else in the Seattle area.
