In Episode 4 of the Oasis Media Podcast, I sit down with Johnny Podcasts, a white-glove podcast producer who’s built a premium, end-to-end production business behind the scenes of dozens of shows.

We talk about his path from recording an NBA podcast in a college closet to producing podcasts full-time, what “white-glove” really means, why audio quality matters more than anything, and how he runs production from recording to distribution.

We also cover the tools he uses (including AI), how he measures podcast success beyond downloads, and why podcasts are quickly becoming as essential to businesses as their websites.

In Episode 3 of the Oasis Media Podcast, I sit down with my close friend Matt Marlinkski—co-founder of The Manhattan Lab in New York City and one of the best behind-the-scenes operators in podcast production.

Matt started in traditional broadcast TV (including work around the New York Mets’ network) before realizing the industry was shifting fast—fewer crews, more automation, worse hours—and pivoting into the creator economy. We talk about how he balanced music and video for years, how COVID became the catalyst that pushed him deeper into podcasting, and how a random moment on Twitter led him to working with Anthony Pompliano and building high-output shows at scale.

We also get into what it really takes to build a studio from scratch, why great sets are usually born from imperfect rooms and constant iteration, and the mindset shift every creative has to make to stop being “for hire” and start operating like a premium brand. Matt breaks down common mistakes new podcasters make, why YouTube is still king (even if it’s a grind), how to “hack the timeline” with volume and distribution, and how to build a long-term moat with recurring formats and a real content universe—not just chasing the next big guest.

In Episode 2 of the Oasis Media Podcast, Tyler Lambers sits down with a close friend Jordy Long, one of the most trusted behind-the-scenes operators in the podcast and creator economy.

Jordy started with zero connections and a $500 camera, taught himself video editing from scratch, and quietly worked his way into the inner circle of some of the biggest podcasts on the internet, including The All-In Podcast, The Pomp Podcast, The Shawn Ryan Show, The Rubin Report, and The David Rutherford Show.

We talk about what it actually takes to break into high-level content work, why relationships and trust matter more than raw technical skill, and how the best creators build leverage behind the scenes. Jordy shares the realities of freelancing, agencies, and revenue-share partnerships, what it’s like working inside top podcast studios, and why he ultimately chose focus and ownership over chasing more clients.

I talk about how a side project turned into a full-time business, teaching myself video editing and podcast production, moving to Miami, and working behind the scenes in media and real estate. This episode sets the foundation for the podcast and what’s ahead — conversations with creators, founders, and business owners who’ve built their own path outside the traditional 9–5.
