Podcast Studio Rental
Podcast Studio Rental in Los Angeles, CA
Your podcast is only as good as it sounds, and more and more, only as good as it looks. Echoey rooms, mismatched mics, and a single webcam make it hard to compete with the shows your audience already listens to. A professional podcast studio closes that gap the moment you hit record.
Jackpot Syndicate's podcast studio in El Segundo gives hosts, brands, and creators across Los Angeles a broadcast-ready space to record audio and video podcasts without building a studio of their own. Book the room for a half day, bring your own crew or shoot it yourself, and walk out with clean, professional files ready for editing and release.
Below, you'll find everything you need to plan your recording: our podcast spaces, the gear in the room, rental options, pricing, and answers to common questions.
Inside Our Podcast Studio
Broadcast Recording Studio
Our Broadcast Recording Studio is built for talk-format content. With 16 channels of clean A/D conversion, a premium mic locker, and live broadcast capability, it handles everything from a solo show to a full panel discussion. Every voice is captured on its own channel, so your editor has clean, separate tracks to work with.
VO Booth
The sound-treated VO Booth is set up with multi-mic configurations and live switching for video podcasts. It's ideal for intimate one-on-one conversations, narration, intros and ad reads, or any segment where you want a tight, controlled sound.
Sound Stage
For larger productions, our Sound Stage offers a 24 x 36 ft paintable cyc stage with 14 ft ceilings and a pre-rigged lighting grid. It's the space to go big: custom video podcast sets, live audience tapings, multi-guest episodes, or a branded show with a signature look.
Lounge Area and Kitchen
Guests show up more relaxed, and conversations flow better, when they have a comfortable place to settle in. Our lounge gives hosts and guests room to prep and recharge between segments, and the fully equipped kitchen is always camera-ready for culinary or tabletop episodes.
Built for Video Podcasts
Audio-only shows are welcome, but today's biggest podcasts live on YouTube as much as Spotify. Our studio is set up to capture both at the same time, so you never have to choose between the listen and the watch.
Multi-cam setups for dynamic, engaging shots of every host and guest
Live switching for video podcasts
A pre-rigged lighting grid, lighting modifiers, stands, and seamless backdrops
À la carte camera and lens rentals, from ARRI, RED, and Blackmagic cinema rigs to Sony and Canon mirrorless 4K options
Easy cutdowns into Shorts, Reels, and TikToks from the same session
