The PREP system, run once.
PREP is the architecture underneath every Apex offer. The Prepisode runs one episode through all three phases so you can feel what the system delivers before you commit to a cadence.
P
Prepare.
Pre-recording strategy with a producer, guest research one-pagers, host coaching, episode arc design. The work that decides whether the episode lands before anyone hits record.
REP
Record, Edit, Publish.
A producer on the Riverside session catching levels and intervening live, full editing and mix, long-form publish through Transistor. The phase Apex has had dialed in from day one.
P
Promote.
Socials cut from the long-form episode, bidirectional guest booking (your host onto other shows, qualified guests onto yours), and amplification inside the Apex Podcast Network feed.
What The Prepisode includes.
Prepare: the Pentatype assessment.
The five-archetype communication-style mapping that pre-qualifies your show into a content lane before recording. Proprietary to Apex.
Prepare: a 90-minute strategy and host-archetype session.
With your producer. We walk the Pentatype result, decide the editorial premise, and build the episode outline.
Record, Edit, Publish: one fully produced episode.
A producer live on the Riverside session catching levels and intervening in real time. Markers, edits, mix, and a clean publish through Transistor.
Record, Edit, Publish: cover art, intro and outro music, and an episode template.
From the curated Apex brand kit. Distinct, but not bespoke. Bespoke design is a separate engagement through a trusted web studio or quoted as a custom add-on.
Promote: distribution under the Apex Podcast Network feed.
Your episode goes live inside the network from day one.
Promote: short-form social clips from the recorded episode.
Five to seven templated motion graphics built from the moments that worked.
Twelve months of Apex Podcast Network membership.
Featured at least once in The Debrief during the membership window.
Twelve months of PodcastNetwork.org access.
The relationship-engine and guest-mapping IP behind PodcastNetwork.org, bundled as a network perk.
A debrief call and a recommendation on Your Weekly Show.
Honest read on whether the full Weekly Show cadence makes sense for you, with no obligation.
