Only 5 seats?

This isn’t a giant webinar: It’s a hands-on intensive.
I keep the groups small, so everyone gets individual attention, time for questions, and space to practice.
By the end of the weekend, you won’t just understand the process, you’ll have actually done it, with support the whole way.

FAQ

Do I need experience?
Nope. Beginners are welcome. We start from the ground up so you can follow step by step, even if you’ve never touched Reaper before.

What gear do I need to bring?
Bring your laptop, your audio interface, your microphone + stand, Headphones and your cables. That’s it. 
(Don’t worry — I’ll show you how to set it all up!)

Will I really leave with something finished?
Yes. By the end of Day 2 you’ll export a podcast-ready audio file you can publish immediately. You’ll also leave with the workflow to repeat the process every time you record, understanding of key audio production knowledge, and how to apply it in real world scenarios. 

What if I get stuck after the intensive?
That’s exactly why you’ll be invited into the Alumni Community — a private group where past students share questions, resources, and encouragement. You’re not on your own after the weekend. Direct coaching with John is also available.

What’s the refund policy?
Seats are non-refundable, but they are transferable. That means if you can’t make it, you can send someone in your place or roll into a future intensive (subject to space).

Can I attend online?
Soon.  The course structure is the same either way, and you’ll still leave with the same experience.
