We already had a podcast when we started work with The Stellar Effect but it was pretty clear that we needed expert support to professionalise our approach to podcasting. We sat in the, we want to do a podcast but not sure how to make it a good one. Working with Carol and Jason was a pleasure as, it comes across pretty quick they and the whole team are super experienced in understanding how to craft and structure a story, that speaks to the needs of the audience we’re targeting.

I highly recommend anyone looking for support have a chat with the team over at The Stellar Effect



Mario Kyriacou- Managing Partner at Ratio Fs (UK)



Working with Carol and Jason from The Stellar Effect has been inspirational and highly effective. As podcast experts, the team is highly efficient, reliable, and forward thinking. We share a synchronicity in our business values which I believe is a core strength when working together.



Claire Barnardo, GSB Case Writing Centre, University of Cape Town (South Africa)



The International Boys’ Schools Coalition has been working with The Stellar Effect for over 2 years. In this time, they have helped us establish, and grow a very successful podcast offering to our membership. Their input has been invaluable, and we would not have enjoyed the success we have with Exploring Boys’ Education without their creative input, strategic guidance, and technical support.
Their ability to understand our needs, and – in turn – help us to understand the context in which we find ourselves has been significant. Furthermore, their attention to detail and investment in our work set them apart.
Our working relationship with The Stellar Effect is successful because they are responsive, professional, creative, supportive, and personal.

“Just wanted to extend my thanks to The Stellar Effect team. The process was a real learning experience in how we can communicate climate research, and the team was great in leading us through it. I think we’ve learned a lot over the past few months, and have a new appreciation for the effort that goes into creating podcasts”



Inge Herbert - Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, Regional Director - Sub Saharan Africa



As the marketing and communications manager at the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship I was recommended The Stellar Effect as a supplier as we built up to our first season of our first podcast – Just for a Change. They were supportive throughout the entire process, contributed at each step of the journey and did an outstanding job in the conceptualization, planning, recording and eventual launch of our first episode which was delivered under trying times as the pandemic hit.
We have journeyed with them for over a year as we entered our current second season as well as launching a secondary podcast with them as our supplier.
I highly recommend them as a team and what they bring to the table is of great value, always with a high level of willingness and hassle-free.



Grant McPherson, The Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Marketing and Communications Manager



We loved working with The Stellar Effect; Carol & Jason were professional, friendly, great coaches to our newbie voice recorders, very efficient and shared brilliant ideas to improve our recordings. They even pushed through load shedding so we could record our audio at a time convenient for us.
We highly recommend the Stellar Effect.

OUR STORY





This creative journey began in 2015 when Jason co-produced Carol’s first album. Having become firm friends they (unexpectedly) decided to team up in 2017, to embark on the entrepreneurial adventure that is The Stellar Effect. The Stellar Effect has evolved over the years, but the building blocks of collaboration, connection, creativity and fun remain the foundation.


Both performers in their own right, Carol and Jason understand the POWER OF SOUND! Coupled with a passion for storytelling, The Stellar Effect captures sound as a way to transform both the teller and the listener.
