Project Overview & Contributions

Ask Ashley is a smart, irreverent lifestyle podcast hosted by two longtime friends—celebrity stylist Ashley North and entertainment insider Ashley Weatherspoon. I joined the creative team early in development to help craft the show’s sound and post-production process before its public launch.

Creative Development & Sound Design

  • Collaborated with the hosts pre-launch to define the show’s overall tone, flow, and vibe

  • Curated and shaped custom intro/outro music and audio transitions to reflect the brand’s sharp, playful voice

Audio Post-Production

  • Designed and implemented a streamlined editing workflow from raw recording to final mix

  • Delivered consistent mixing and mastering for all episodes

  • Produced and integrated sponsored content and commercial spots with a seamless, brand-aligned tone

  • Managed distribution to all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart Radio, et al.

Copywriting & Brand Voice

  • Wrote all episode descriptions and show summaries, capturing the unique chemistry of the co-hosts

  • Maintained voice consistency across platforms and ensured SEO-friendly descriptions for discoverability

Impact

The show launched with a strong sonic identity, crisp production quality, and on-brand written content, helping it stand out in a crowded lifestyle podcast landscape.

Working with Gary from Due South Media on Ask Ashley: The Podcast for two seasons was an incredible experience.

From day one, he was an excellent communicator, worked quickly and reliably, and always made us feel like our show was a priority.

He brought thoughtful, creative ideas to make each episode better, handled everything from editing to ad production — even recording a few voiceovers himself — and provided the kind of full-service support that made producing the podcast feel effortless.
