A Podcast Studio ACUTALLY Built In A Basement

My Friend's Basement started in an actual apartment basement in Bushwick back in 2022, when two friends and open mic comedians had the idea to build a podcast studio.

Fast forward to today: we've bootstrapped the business and moved out of a residential basement into a commercial one in East Williamsburg. We serve independent creators and brands alike, and every session includes an in-studio engineer, so all you have to do is show up and record like the talent you are.

FAQ

The multi-camera video recordings include up to three cameras. Teleprompter available upon request.

Is an engineer included?

Yes. Every booking includes a professional engineer to manage recording, lighting, and audio levels so you can focus on your content. All you need to do is show up and record.

How quickly can I get my files?
