about · rlpod · real life podcasts

two names, one desk.

rl is Riedmann & Lehmann — Paulus and Erich, two friends who kept helping people start podcasts and kept watching the same thing happen: the recording was the easy part, and then the episode died somewhere between the SD card and the upload button.

so we built the missing piece. rlpod records your podcast in real life — we come to your place with the whole studio — and then takes the episode across our desk: sync, multicam edit, sound, mastering, clips, shorts, thumbnails, metadata, publishing. you get one app where new cuts land, you scribble notes in ink, and you stamp approved.— that’s the entire job description.

the desk isn’t just a metaphor we like. it’s how the product works: your episode arrives as printed proofs, we pass notes back and forth in handwriting, and when the ink says approved, the print ships.

handwriting + mono —
the ink/print split, in one lockup.

Paulus Riedmann
the room · recording & cut

sets up the room so the conversation carries: mic placement, camera angles, light that flatters without lying. then cuts the episode so it moves.

e.
Erich Lehmann
the desk · the app

built the app you review in. cuts, clips, proofs, publishing — the machinery that turns a wrap into a live episode without you touching a timeline.

what we believe
  • real rooms beat remote calls.

    the best conversations happen when people share air. we bring the studio to you — mics, cameras, warm light — and the recording sounds like the room felt.

  • you shouldn't need a second job to have a podcast.

    editing, clipping, captioning, thumbnails, uploading — that's our craft, not your homework. you talk; everything else crosses our desk.

  • approve exactly what ships.

    proofs render in each platform's own visual language, pixel-close. no surprises between the version you stamped and the one your audience sees.

  • handwriting is for humans.

    our notes, nudges and approvals are ink. your titles, thumbnails and descriptions are print — kept exactly as you wrote them, casing and all.
