A One-of-a-Kind Offering from Hearsay Studio

The Wedding Podcast

Your love story, captured in sound.

While photos capture what you see and video captures what you watch, audio captures what you feel — the raw cadence of a voice, the joyful eruption of a room, the inside jokes, the music you chose with care. This is that, made into a podcast.

What Is This? What's Included

"But when you hear somebody's voice, it's so much more powerful... Like, really, as this tape was playing, beat by beat, moment by moment, I feel like I'm experiencing this conversation the same way I did 30 years ago... And pictures cannot do that."

— Ira Glass, This American Life
What Is This?

Your wedding weekend, produced as a podcast.

This isn't a recording. It's a beautifully crafted, highly produced, sound-immersive podcast experience — your love story told through your words and the voices of your closest friends and family.

Audio works differently than a camera in your face. A small microphone disappears into the room — and suddenly you have something that actually captures the texture of a moment: the warmth in someone's voice, the nervous exhale before the vows, the eruption of a table that just heard the best toast of their lives. You and your guests stay fully present. The tape rolls. Nothing is lost.

Imagine years from now taking that road trip, hosting an anniversary dinner party, or telling your growing family about the story of how you came together — and queuing up your podcast to get transported back. It also serves as a wedding gift you can share with those who were there, and those who couldn't make it.

This is a genuinely unique offering — as far as we know, there is no one else providing this service, anywhere, let alone with this level of journalistic craft and production quality.

A note on your involvement

You're already busy enough. The couple getting married can have a small role — like a pre-wedding interview to tell your love story in your own words — or you can opt for zero responsibilities at all. Either way, this project gets made around you, not because of you.

Jonathan handles all field work, production, and delivery. You just have to show up to your wedding.

This is a private, personal project. Your podcast is distributed securely and discreetly — not publicly on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

📸

Audio + Photo Slideshow

The podcast audio mixed with photos from your wedding — a visual soundscape that brings both mediums together.

🌴

Honeymoon Report

A short, intimate audio piece captured on your honeymoon — your first dispatches as a married couple, on tape.

🎙️

Anniversary Documentary

Return to the beginning. A documentary looking back at your wedding day and the year — or years — since.

Who Is This For?

You, if any of this sounds like you.

Story-lovers

You listen to podcasts. You love narrative. You believe your wedding deserves to be heard, felt, and remembered like it was a story from This American Life, Radiolab, or The Daily.

Couples who want something different

The photos are booked. The video is covered. You're looking for the thing that does what neither of those can — capture the feeling of actually being there.

Big-family, big-feeling weddings

You have a lot of people with a lot of love to share. You want to capture the whole of it — not just the posed moments.
