Fractional Podcast & Video Production

Stop spending your recording time on Post-Production

Editing episodes, writing show notes, cutting social clips, and managing uploads can easily consume 4 to 6 hours per episode, time that compounds fast if you're publishing weekly. Nacho's specialists handle the production workflow after you hit stop, so your content gets out the door without eating your schedule. We've logged 41 time entries in podcast and video production support across clients in multiple industries.

Can I delegate podcast & video production to a Virtual Assistant?

Yes. Nacho matches you with a vetted, 100% US-based Specialist who owns your podcast & video production every week, not a one-off task. You start with a $300 Delegation Strategy Plan, set a monthly Talent Budget from $1,000, and we match you in about a week.

What we handle

What your Specialist takes over

Recurring work your US-based Specialist owns from week one. No vague promises.

Audio & Video Editing

EAs edit raw recordings in tools like Descript or Adobe Audition: removing filler words, balancing levels, cutting dead air, and exporting final files to your specs.

Show Notes & Episode Summaries

After each episode, your EA writes structured show notes with timestamps, guest bios, key takeaways, and relevant links, formatted and ready to publish on your podcast host or website.

YouTube & Podcast Platform Publishing

Your EA uploads finalized episodes to platforms like Buzzsprout, Spotify for Podcasters, or YouTube, filling in titles, descriptions, chapters, tags, and thumbnails so nothing goes live half-finished.

Social Media Clip Creation

Using tools like Opus Clip or Kapwing, EAs identify and export short-form clips from longer recordings, sized correctly for Reels, Shorts, or TikTok, with captions added.

Guest Coordination & Scheduling

EAs manage the back-and-forth of booking podcast guests: sending calendar links via Calendly, confirming recording logistics, collecting bios and headshots, and sending pre-interview prep materials.

Transcript Creation & Repurposing

Your EA generates accurate transcripts using tools like Otter.ai or Descript and reformats the content into blog posts, email newsletters, or LinkedIn articles to extend the life of each episode.

How it works

How the handoff works

After onboarding, your dedicated Client Success Manager builds a Delegation Strategy Plan that maps your current production workflow: what you record with, where files live, how you publish, and what your turnaround expectations are. In the first week, your EA gets access to your shared drive or project management tool (typically Google Drive, Notion, or Asana), reviews a sample episode to align on editing style and formatting preferences, and completes a test deliverable before taking on the full queue. From there, you drop raw files into an agreed folder or send a Slack message, and your EA handles the rest through to publishing.

The model

What delegating to Nacho actually looks like

This is ongoing delegation to one vetted, US-based person, not a task posted to a marketplace.

  1. Start with a Delegation Strategy Plan

    A one-time $300 onboarding fee pairs you with a Client Success Manager who maps what to hand off first. See the full process.

  2. Get matched in about a week

    We match you with a vetted, 100% US-based Specialist in your time zone. If the fit is not right, the Nacho Guarantee re-matches you free.

  3. Set a monthly Talent Budget

    Budgets start at $1,000 a month and draw across Executive Assistants from $40/hr, Specialists from $65/hr, and Fractional Executives from $125/hr. Up to $200 of unused budget rolls over each month. For marketing-led work, that senior seat is usually a Fractional CMO. See pricing in detail.

  4. Three months, then month to month

    The initial term is three months so the working relationship has time to compound, then it rolls month to month. Book a discovery call to size yours.

Good questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to provide detailed editing instructions every time?
Only at the start. During onboarding, your EA works from a documented style guide built around your preferences: pacing, music, intro/outro format, caption style, and so on. Once that's established, you hand off raw files and get back finished content without a lengthy briefing each time.
What if my episodes vary, sometimes interviews, sometimes solo recordings?
That's common, and your EA can handle both formats. The onboarding process captures the editing approach for each format separately, so your EA knows what a solo episode should sound like versus a two-person interview without you having to re-explain it each time.
How quickly can an EA turn around an edited episode?
Turnaround depends on episode length, editing complexity, and your EA's current workload, all of which are set expectations during onboarding, not figured out episode by episode. Most clients working with a dedicated EA on a consistent publishing schedule establish a reliable 24 to 48 hour turnaround for standard episodes.
Is 41 time entries enough to know you can handle this well?
It's a fair question. Podcast and video production is a specialized service, and 41 entries reflects real client work across editing, publishing, guest coordination, and repurposing, not a theoretical capability. If your workflow is highly technical or requires proprietary software, we'll tell you upfront during the discovery call whether it's a fit.
