Why Podcast Engineering School?
Podcast Engineering School (PES) solves a big problem in today’s podcasting industry – there are not enough professional podcast engineers/producers to properly serve employers, businesses and individuals who want their podcasts to sound good.
PES gives its students all the necessary skills and knowledge (and drastic software discounts) to make them the absolute BEST editors / engineers / producers in the entire podcasting industry – rock solid professionals who can handle any situation. Graduates will have an unfair advantage in the world of podcast production; they’ll be able to start or grow their own production company, or join a company as an employee. In fact, many high school and college students are already earning really good money editing podcasts part time instead of working at Starbucks. It’s nice to be a respected professional at the highest level and always be in demand.
Check out the Program Details page for the elements of the program as well as the teaching topics.
Podcasting is now an accepted and proven content marketing channel just like blogging and social media. That means lots of companies, organizations, authors, etc. are jumping in and starting their own podcasts. Consequently, more and more podcast production companies are emerging all over the place as well as companies who are hiring podcast engineers to produce podcasts for them in-house.
There’s a problem here though – most individuals who edit/produce podcasts have very weak audio skills, knowledge and software. And no school exists to provide the highest level of podcast production training – until now

HOW MUCH YOU CAN EARN AS A PODCAST ENGINEER/PRODUCER?
Running your own business: Plenty of folks are already charging clients up to $300-$1,200 per episode and earning over $100k per year.
Securing a great job: More and more companies are hiring and they’re having a hard time finding trained professionals that they want to hire.
It’s working for me and many others. I’m Chris Curran, founder of PES. For the past 10+ years I’ve been engineering/producing podcasts for companies and authors. When Forbes was looking to hire an engineer/producer in 2016 for their podcast network, I was one of 7 people under consideration. In the end my professional credentials are what got me the contract even though I was the most expensive option for them! Think about that…
Podcast Engineering School is the only “fast track” available today — there are no YouTube or Udemy shortcuts to becoming a professional. Besides, how much is your time worth? In only 7 weeks you’ll be in the top 1 percent of podcast engineers/producers in the entire world (in terms of knowledge, skills and workflows)!
Chris Curran
Founder and Lead Instructor of Podcast Engineering School
I’m Chris Curran, founder and lead instructor of Podcast Engineering School. I began working in audio years ago doing music production and audio engineering. For years I had the honor of making records with famous artists and accumulating lots of album credits.
Since entering the world of podcasting in early 2012, I realized that most podcasters and podcast editors have very little or no audio engineering skills, which virtually cripples the quality of their sound from the very beginning. That’s why I opened Podcast Engineering School.
I feel grateful (and totally psyched!) to be able to elevate the quality of our students lives and careers.
If you’d like to chat with me about your future in podcast production, please contact me and we’ll set up a time to talk.
Sound great!

The Podcast Engineering School is an absolutely stellar course. It’s amazingly thorough while remaining focused on providing you exactly what you need to become a professional podcast producer.
Bryan E.2017 Alumni
If you are serious about producing podcasts and would like to learn from a true leader in the field, Chris Curran’s Podcast Engineering School is a huge value. This is a lifetime of experience that will benchmark your knowledge among the best in podcast sound engineering. I am now highly aware of the process, production, and importance of professional sound for podcast listeners – and I know how to make it happen!
Jim C.2017 Alumni
Podcast Engineering School is a worthwhile and valuable investment for anyone who wants to produce a high quality podcast. Chris is very attentive and accessible for participants, and each class session went far beyond my expectations in terms of what I hoped to learn. Best of all, it’s all very practical, and I’m able to apply it immediately so I can “SOUND GREAT!
Barry G.2018 Alumni
If you’re thinking of signing up for Podcast Engineering School, do yourself a favor and sign up now. Chris’s passion and deep knowledge of all things audio made this course both fun and highly informative. Having listened to every episode of The Podcast Engineering Show, I had high expectations when I started the course. The experience exceeded my expectations. I’m using a lot of what I learned to make the shows I work on Sound Great!
Ed S.2018 Alumni
I’ve always wanted my podcasts to sound awesome. I bought a mixer, twisted some knobs, & got decent results…but I wasn’t satisfied. I needed to understand the “why” & “how” of sounding great. If any of my settings got bumped, I was screwed! Enter PES and Chris Curran. Chris helped me put all the puzzle pieces together. Now I produce high quality sound every time with a focus on avoiding issues BEFORE pressing record. PES is a must if you are serious about quality sound. Thank you, Chris!
Josh W.2017 Alumni
As a beginner in the world of audio, I really benefited from Chris’s Podcast Engineering School. Chris is a very good professor because he was very interactive with every single classmate and very patient with all the help he would give. After graduating I feel WAY more confident producing audio than I ever would have without this program. Overall, I highly recommend PES to anyone interested in learning the straight to the point no fluff version of professional audio engineering for podcast production.
Erika K.2017 Alumni
Since 2011 I’ve tried to learn on my own how to fix podcast audio problems in different settings with marginal success. After going through PES I was able to really understand what all those features in Audition do from a theoretical basis which helped diagnose problems on a more fundamental level. I can’t recommend this course enough for serious podcasters that not only want to put good content into the world, but content that also, wait for it, SOUNDS GREAT!
