Request for Space: Podcasting Space
Jason Calacanis hosts two popular podcasts, This Week in Startups and the All In Podcast.
He is currently looking for a new studio within walking distance (under five blocks/.5 miles) of downtown Burlingame or San Mateo. Here are our needs:
- We are looking for a non-traditional, affordable space and are ok with raw space. It could be a storefront, a theater, or a warehouse space.
- The space could be 1,000 square feet or 10,000, with a minimum of a 20x20 foot room for the podcast studio and the rest for a live audience of 10 to 100+.
- Parking is not an important consideration. We can live with zero or 50 parking spaces — and would be using them infrequently.
- Noise is an important consideration, so spaces that are along the railroad tracks would be impractical unless the building is soundproofed.
- We are looking for a three-year lease, structured in 1-year renewals.
- We have a couple of free options inside of larger office spaces who want to host the studio, so we are cost conscious in making this decision.
- We do not have a budget and are opportunistic. We could make various spaces work. A 500-seat theater or a coffee shop on a side street could both work for recording his daily podcast. The first could bring in a large live audience, the latter a ten-person studio audience.
- We are not using a tenant broker.
