No, all royalty free music in Micme’s library is sourced from a third party partner and can only be used after it’s been incorporated into a new production including voice over and SFX.
Unfortunately you can’t use copyrighted music or audio unless you have paid the artist a licensing fee to do so. Micme requires a signed license agreement for any audio you as our client provides. Micme doesn’t offer the option to source and license music for you. We offer an extensive music archive of royalty free music that you can pick music from.
You can hear examples of the music available to you here.

Revisions are included. However, if your script has been approved, recorded by your voice over artist and returned to you, any changes you’d like to make to your script will require a re-recording fee of $1.00 per word. This to ensure our voice over talent is fully compensated for their amazing work.

Yes! It’s a good time to register your account with the podcast hosting companies, while we’re editing your debut episode. Send us your login information and, upon approval, your episode will be published for distribution across 9 major podcast directories.
We use LastPass to ensure safe, secure and encrypted transfer of information.
Simple put, these are non-audio details like album art, title, description, author, and name of the podcast. They are used for podcast directories to index your show so your listeners can search and find you.
Micme offers editing add-ons like show notes writing and transcription. Please contact us for more info.
These times are based on the raw, unedited length of the recording you submit to be edited. Unfortunately we cannot take a recording and edit down to a specific length. We suggest you decide on a length for your episode and set a timer before you start recording.
If the raw, unedited length of an episode exceeds 60 minutes, there will be an additional fee of $2.00 per minute over the maximum length.
Example: If you have purchased the “Up To 60 Minute” editing package and submit an unedited episode that is 70 minutes in length, an additional fee of $20.00 will apply only to the episode that exceeds 60 minutes. That’s 10 minutes x $2.00 per minute.
Overage fees are accumulated over the course of a month and are invoiced at the end of the month. We usually permit a 2 minute variance per episode.
For every episode, up to 3 rounds of content edits are included. A fee of $10.00 per additional round of content edits will apply after the 3rd round of content edits have been performed. Mistakes made by Micme will not be considered as a round of edits and will be fixed at no additional cost. Only content edit requests made by you will count as a round of edits.
“RSS” stands for “Rich Site Summary,” but it is also known as “really simple syndication,” “RDF Site Summary,” and “Real-time Simple Syndication.” RSS is a collection of XML (“extensible markup language”) standard formatting. An RSS feed is mandatory for hosting a podcast. It is how the internet identifies and your podcast.
No problem. Make sure your cover art is between 1400px by 1400px and 3000px by 3000px, in jpg format and under 500kb in file size.

The equipment we’ll send you depends on the format of your podcast. There are many ways to produce a podcast and each way needs a specific set up. During pre-production, we help you figure out what format is best for vision and what equipment you’ll need.
A podcast marked explicit won’t affect it making into the new & noteworthy. New & noteworthy podcasts are curated by Apple Podcasts, not determined by an algorithm. Also, It’s possible to find podcasts that have been around for a while there as noteworthy. The main deciding factor is quality content.
Once you’ve launched your podcast, you have some options. Micme is a full-service podcast production company, so if you’d like, we’ll transition you to our podcast editing service, where you can keep planning and recording your episodes and we’ll take the raw recordings and edit, mix, master, and publish them. Or if you’d like to continue working with your podcast producer and have them help you plan the content in addition to editing, mixing, mastering, and publishing, then we’ll set up a custom monthly retainer package so you can maximize your time.
Podcast hosting is a place to store and distribute your podcast audio files. A host also gives your podcast an identity called an RSS feed that all the streaming platforms can understand. Your RSS feed (identity) is updated with every new episode so the streaming platforms know to send a message to your listeners to let them know a new episode is ready for them to listen to. Think of it like the behind-the-scenes infrastructure that makes it possible to deliver your podcast to people.
No. You can cancel at anytime.
