We’re not a production house. We’re a creative collaborative that helps purpose-driven hosts find their voice — and build an audience that actually feels it.
"Podcast Impact Studio didn't start with a business plan. It started with two women in recovery who kept showing up in the same circles — and discovered that the stories people are most afraid to tell are exactly the ones the world needs to hear."
There are a thousand podcast companies. There is only one Podcast Impact Studio — because we don't just edit audio. We help humans find their voice.
Connection over metrics
Downloads are great. But we measure success by the depth of connection you create with your listeners — the ones who say “that episode changed something for me.”
Authentic, not polished
The podcast industry will tell you to smooth everything out. We will ask you to say the thing you keep editing. That’s where the magic is.
Partner, not vendor
We don’t hand you a finished file and disappear. We’re your creative partner — in the vision, in the strategy, in the room with you when you’re figuring out what to say.
We live what we teach
Recovery, coming out, getting honest — our team has done the hard internal work. That’s the foundation everything else is built on. It’s not a brand story. It’s just true.
Whether you need to find your voice first, or you're ready for full
production support — we have a path for where you are right now

Real-talk podcasting tips for purpose-driven creators. No fluff.
Tamar Routly is the founder and CEO of Podcast Impact Studio, a voice strategist, podcast producer, and published author of Sobriety for Dummies (Wiley). She helps purpose-driven entrepreneurs find their authentic voice and build podcasts that create real connection. She is in recovery, co-hosts The Sober Curator Podcast with Alysse Bryson, and has been working in podcasting and creative direction for over a decade.
Podcast Impact Studio didn’t start with a business plan — it started with two women in recovery who kept showing up in the same circles. Tamar Routly and Alysse Bryson met through the sober community during the pandemic, discovered a shared belief that the stories people are most afraid to tell are exactly the ones the world needs to hear, and built something together around that truth.
The team includes Tamar Routly (founder, voice strategist, and CEO), Mark Camilon (production coordinator and web developer), Renz Torres (video editor and designer), Mark Wright (podcast developer, host coach, and 4x Emmy Award winner), and Alysse Bryson (brand strategist and co-founder of The Sober Curator). Together we cover every dimension of voice, production, and strategy.
Yes — deeply. Several members of our team are in recovery and we are active partners with The Sober Curator, one of the leading voices in the alcohol-free lifestyle space. We are committed to amplifying recovery voices and supporting creators with lived experience in sobriety and healing.
It means we don’t work for you — we work with you. We’re not a production company that takes your files and delivers edited audio. We’re your creative partner in the room, shaping your message, your voice, and your show alongside you. The distinction matters to us and it shows up in everything we do.
Tamar has produced and launched 15+ podcasts across multiple genres including recovery, health, leadership, and personal development. She is the co-host of The Sober Curator Podcast, a voice strategist trained in neuroscience-based coaching, and the published author of Sobriety for Dummies (Wiley). She brings both the technical and deeply human sides of podcasting to every client relationship.
