“The Podcast Garage will be our skunkworks,” said Kerri Hoffman, CEO of PRX, “an open space where creative serendipity can take root.”
Podcast Garage is a combination school and rental studio facility. Classes on audio production and “narrative skill-building” will be offered. As a retail cluster of podcast recording studios, the Garage allows anyone to book time in a four-person studio and a single-person voice booth. We prowled through the reservation system, where studio time can be booked starting next week at one dollar per minute, in quarter-hour increments.
The studio equipment is sound-isolated, and includes Shure and Sennheiser microphones, and Pro Tools audio editing.
Podcast Garage is located in Zone 3, a Harvard University initiative of experimental programs, retain ventures, and other business ideas along Western Ave. in the Allston Brighton neighborhood across the Charles river from Harvard’s campus.
