Good Tape Launches New Website, Unveils Creative Studio

Ahead of its second issue publishing this fall, Good Tape, your favorite podcaster’s favorite magazine, has launched a new website to expand its presence online and debuted its creative studio. Readers can now also pre-order “The Celebrity Issue” featuring notable writers such as Miles Klee, staff writer at Rolling Stone, Elle Hunt, former features reporter at The Guardian, and music journalist Sowmya Krishnamurthy.

“With our second issue, the magazine has really found its footing, building on the smart and ballsy editorial point of view we established with our debut,” says Good Tape’s Editor-in-Chief Alana Hope Levinson. “The theme of celebrity inspired hundreds of pitches, and the careful curation we ended up with acts as a rally cry for the industry.”

Good Tape is also pleased to announce Good Tape Studio, a studio which provides creative services to top producers, networks, and brands in podcasting to actualize their most ambitious visual goals. Spearheaded by Sami Wittwer and Dane Cardiel, Good Tape Studio launched earlier this year, working with esteemed audio professionals such as Yowei Shaw and Mia Lobel and industry leaders like Sounds Profitable and Lower Street. Its services include podcast branding, pitch development, and experiential design.

“While print will continue to be a core focus for Good Tape, we believe that expanding our reach digitally and packaging our editorial and design capabilities as a service was a natural next step,” says Good Tape’s Founder Dane Cardiel. “We’re excited to kick off new conversations with clients and invite those reading this release to reach out on our website.”

“The team at Good Tape Studio are great to work with, and consistently deliver excellent podcast artwork for our branded podcasts,” says Lower Street Founder, Harry Morton. “No matter the genre, style, or content, they nail it. We tell stories with audio, and they help us do the same visually.”

“I’m not a visually-oriented person,” says Yowei Shaw, “but somehow Good Tape Studio was able to interpret my cloud of feelings and deliver on imagery that perfectly fits the playful, dreamy vibe of my show Proxy. I’m so happy with my podcast art I could cry.”

Good Tape is a magazine and creative studio based in Los Angeles and Brooklyn. Its aim is to elevate both cultural and critical coverage of the podcast industry and bring the best in design and creative practices to clients.
