Tier two
A show, produced cycle by cycle. With the network around every release.
$2,997 per 28-day cycle. One to four episodes per cycle, same price. A producer in the room every session. Full distribution under the Apex Podcast Network feed. A per-episode producer debrief. The block-analysis audit every eight episodes. Designed as the long-running engagement once you know you want a show in production.
The frame.
We do not run Managed in months. We run it in cycles. A cycle is twenty-eight days. Each cycle is a release window. Each release is a discrete artifact with its own cover. Eight releases make a block. A block is what the audit reads as a body of work.
A producer is in the room every session. Brett or Randy, on monitor, dropping markers, intervening when the conversation goes flat, writing the debrief afterward. The network is around every release: collab tags across the cohort, a place in the Apex Podcast Network feed, a candidate spot inside The Debrief.
What Managed includes.
Up to four produced episodes per cycle.
One to four costs the same. No penalty for slowing the cadence, no extra fee for picking it up.
Recording sessions with a producer in the room.
Up to four hours per session day. Green Room Experience. Riverside-based.
Distribution under the Apex Podcast Network feed.
Including dynamic ad insertion campaigns when a sponsor fits. Ninety percent of the ad revenue goes to you. Ten percent stays with Apex and funds the affiliate program.
The Pentatype profile, kept current.
Revisited if the show direction shifts. The frequency mapping stays accurate as the show evolves.
A written producer debrief on every episode.
One observation per episode, surfaced into the debrief, the social clip, and a candidate seat inside The Debrief newsletter.
Network coordination.
Continuous collab tagging across the roster. Guest intros where there is fit. Cross-promotion inside the cohort.
The block-analysis audit every eight episodes.
A four to six page written editorial read on the show as a body of work. Themes, host-to-guest ratio, sentiment arc, the audience signal you are missing.
A monthly producer office hour.
One thirty-minute sync per cycle to plan the next cycle's content. Not coaching. Planning.
Eligibility for Brett's other businesses.
Legacy Publishing for the book conversation when it comes up. AI Expert for the Knowledge Graph and the Wikipedia conversation. Both as separate engagements at separate fees.
GHL client sub-account.
Per-client portal at portal.apexpodcast.co. Episodes, debriefs, schedule, billing, all in one place.
What a producer in the room actually costs us.
Two producers, full time on Apex. The capacity ceiling is thirty active Managed clients across both of us. We do not pass the room to a junior editor when we get busy. When client count crosses twenty-five active, we add an editor to take the export and transcript work off the producer’s plate. Producers stay producers.
The first ten.
The first ten Managed clients lock at $2,997 for twenty-four months. Even if list price changes during that window, founding cohort clients hold the rate.

How the ad math actually works.
When a sponsor fits and we run dynamic ad insertion, ninety percent of the ad revenue goes to you. Ten percent stays with Apex and funds the affiliate program. That number is more favorable than the industry standard. We did the math on purpose.
The ten percent has a job. It pays referrers ten percent of the referred client’s monthly Apex revenue for the duration of the engagement. You can be one of those referrers. See the Partners page.
The block-analysis audit.
Every eight episodes, your show gets a written editorial read. Four to six pages. Theme distribution. Guest topic patterns. Host-to-guest talk ratio. Sentiment arc. The episodes you have not yet recorded that your audience seems primed for. A guest recommendation list informed by what the body of work shows.
The audit is producer-authored. Transcripts run through an AI-assisted analysis pass. Brett or Randy writes the narrative and the taste layer. The result is a real document with a producer’s read on it.
A sample audit is available on the discovery call.
What Managed does not include.
- Custom social media content beyond per-episode templated clips.
- Ongoing graphic design overhauls.
- Book ghost-writing or publication.
- Wikipedia and Knowledge Graph buildout.
- Ad-hoc producer time beyond the monthly office hour. Quoted at the published hourly rate when it comes up.
- In-person physical studio sessions.
Anything in that list routes to the right home inside Brett K Moore HQ when it comes up on the cycle planning call.
