Higgens Media

Your nonprofit is full of stories.Give them a show.

Client outcomes. Staff who have spent twenty years in the work. Donors who can explain why they give. A vodcast turns those conversations into a video podcast on YouTube, an audio feed on podcast platforms, and weeks of short clips for social. Higgens Media brings the studio to you and handles the rest.

The stories exist.The production is what's missing.

Every nonprofit director can name five people whose stories would move a room. What stops those stories from reaching anyone is everything after the idea: cameras, audio, editing, thumbnails, publishing, clips. That is a production job, and asking a program manager to also be a production crew is how good ideas die in a shared drive.

There is a second problem worth naming. A single video is one piece of content. A show is a system. Episodes stack into a body of work that donors, funders, and board candidates can browse, and each episode feeds a month of shorter content on its own.

Nonprofit vodcast production,from setup to publish

A mobile studio at your location. Multi-camera recording built on Sony cinema-line cameras, professional lighting, and multi-track audio with isolated backups for every voice. Remote guests are handled through Riverside, so a guest in another state records at full quality.

Recording day handled end to end. The team sets up, runs the session, and coaches you and your guest through it. Nobody on your staff touches a camera.

Editing. Full-length episodes cut for YouTube, audio versions prepared for podcast feeds, transcripts created, and color and sound cleaned up. AI-assisted tools speed the edit, and a person makes every judgment call.

Clips for social. Each episode yields short vertical clips, captioned, sized for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. One recording session becomes a month of posts.

Guest preparation. Higgens Media Story Kits help guests arrive knowing what they want to say. A prepared guest gives you a usable episode. An unprepared one gives you forty minutes of warm-up.

Training, if you want to take it over. Some organizations want to run their own show eventually. The team trains your staff on the gear and the workflow, and stays available for editing.

Episodes work in ways an appeal letter cannot

A donor watches your executive director talk with a program graduate for thirty minutes and understands the organization better than any brochure could manage. Grant reviewers find a body of published work. Job candidates see the culture. And clips from those conversations give your social channels months of material with faces and voices instead of graphics.

What it costs

Per episode: from $1,200. Covers the recording session, full edit, audio version, transcript, and a set of social clips. Multi-episode recording days lower the per-episode cost, since two or three episodes can be recorded in one setup.

Launch package: quoted after a planning call. For a new show, the team scopes format, name, and cover art, records the first batch of episodes, and sets up the YouTube channel and podcast feed. Pricing depends on episode count and format, and you will see the full number before anything is booked.

Ongoing shows on a regular schedule are priced as a monthly production arrangement. The more predictable the schedule, the better the rate.

FAQ

That is what the planning call is for. Most nonprofit shows come down to a simple format: a host from your organization in conversation with clients, staff, partners, or donors. The team helps you find the version of that with legs.

For the host, roughly two hours per recording session plus a short prep call. The team carries everything else.

Yes, with the same consent care described on the Media Days page. Some of the strongest nonprofit episodes are program participants telling their own story, and it only works when they are protected and comfortable.

Yes. When an organization has its own shooter, the team slots in wherever needed, often handling editing, clips, and publishing while your person handles capture. The arrangement flexes to what you have.
