Freelancing into Podcasting

Bogdan Bratis, entered the podcasting space quite unexpectedly. In 2019 after graduating from Southampton Solent University, Bogdan decided to sustain his living from music but that proved quite difficult and inconsistent. After facing rejections, trying to knock at closed doors in the music industry, he decided to put his audio production skills to good use.

Starting A Podcast Production Company

After 2 years of growth on the freelance platform, during the COVID-19 Pandemic he decided to start "Saw And Sine" aka "SAS" a boutique audio production agency, putting the base of what we now know as Saspod.

During the SAS years, he started growing the business through bootstrapping, quickly gathering momentum. At that point SAS was offering only audio production services but Bogdan had a vision of an all in one platform for all your podcasting needs.

That is how Saspod became a reality. Bogdan always wanted a platform where clients would be able to collaborate with a professional podcast production team, providing a personalized experience and a reliable service.

Bogdan met Ahmed Mousa, current Saspod’s Head of Engineering and together started to plan the evolution of Saspod.

He managed to build a team of podcast producers and content creators, creating a business that not only works, but thrives and scales.
