Most podcast studios start at the microphone. we start WITH the idea.
Studio Kairos is a full-service creative production studio. We develop, produce, and deliver podcasts in audio, video, and live form, and we handle everything that comes with it: music and sound design, social content and trailers, cover art and graphic assets, audience development strategy, talent management, and broadcast and streaming production. Our clients don't need to manage five vendors or explain their vision six times. They come to us once, and we build the whole thing.
We work with brands, personalities, and independent creators from concept to cultural moment — developing the idea, shaping the story, and bringing it to life wherever the audience is.
Our particular expertise is the space where recorded content and live experience converge: where a podcast series becomes a sold-out live event, a brand story becomes a customer experience, and a musician's work finds an entirely new audience. That intersection is where the most interesting work happens, and it's where we've built our practice.
Founder Kirsten Cluthe
Kirsten Cluthe is an executive producer with deep expertise in podcasting, live entertainment, and media production. She founded Studio Kairos in 2017 after two decades working across every side of the entertainment industry — from major label promotion and artist management to live events, branded content, and podcast production.
She began her career at CAA, supporting concert tours for artists like Madonna, The Smashing Pumpkins, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, and Midnight Oil. From there she moved into artist promotion at rap label Select Records, artist management with Concrete during the Pantera and White Zombie era, and Artist Development at EMI Records — building a deep fluency in music, talent, and the business behind both.
That foundation in live entertainment and artist culture led naturally into branded content and experiential production. Her work in this space spans strategic roles with Let's Talk Menopause, Moogfest, Lean Startup, GE, Worth Media Group, Virgin Entertainment, and other national and global clients — producing events, content series, and experiences that connect brands with the audiences that matter to them.
Studio Kairos was founded on the belief that the best podcast production isn't just about recording a conversation — it's about building something with cultural weight, creative ambition, and a real audience. Kirsten brings every dimension of her career to that work: the music industry instincts, the live production experience, the branded content fluency, and the creative development expertise that turns a good idea into a show people actually want to listen to.
collaborators & partners
Studio Kairos is built around a trusted network of experienced collaborators — producers, editors, sound engineers, composers, videographers, graphic designers, and creative strategists — assembled specifically for each project. You get the right people for your show, not a generalist team.
Our collaborators work across the full production spectrum: audio recording and editing, video production and post, live event and broadcast production, music composition and licensing, and creative services including graphic design, branding, and copywriting. Whatever your project requires, we have the right person for it.
Collectively, our network has worked with major music labels, streaming platforms, film and video production companies, marketing and content agencies, and live event producers. They bring deep expertise in talent-driven content — shows, live recordings, branded experiences, and cultural events that bring artists, audiences, and ideas together.
The team scales with the project. The creative vision stays consistent throughout.
