Kula is a podcast collective and production company in New York City.

We support individuals and organizations by providing strategic planning and technical audio production services, from concept development through post-production. As principal, Erin Greenhouse leads every project personally, pulling in trusted collaborators as the work demands.

We chose the name Kula, a Sanskrit word for community, as it reflects the collaborative heart of our work. We believe that true success comes from working together, and we're thankful for the collective of clients, family, and collaborators who make our work possible.

While my career has shape-shifted, my work has consistently explored how media, technology, and culture reflect and inform one another.

I started as a media strategist at a global media agency in New York, then moved into the AdTech startup world, where I led account teams and managed operations through mergers, acquisitions, and periods of rapid organizational change. Alongside that work, I studied yoga and Vedic philosophy, a practice that continues to inform how I approach not just work, but most things.

I returned to audio, which I'd studied in college, after having twins and stepping back from corporate work for a while. People with timely, meaningful ideas kept finding their way to me, wanting to turn their work into podcasts. That grew into Kula, where I now produce and score podcasts for a network of poets, activists, healers, and historians working to inspire meaningful change.

Raising my own kids has pulled my focus toward children's media. I currently serve as board president of the New York International Children's Film Festival, a nonprofit championing diversity and historically excluded voices in children's film and media.

Kula wouldn’t be what it is without the support, talent, and generosity of so many people.

I’m especially grateful to these collaborators and organizations:

  • Hannah Jocelyn provides Audio Engineering support across most projects. She’s also an incredible writer and musician.

  • Happenstance Design Co. made this gorgeous website. Thank you Annie and Shelley!

  • Sarah Allison is the creative genius who designed the Kula logo and the visual inspirations for the brand.

  • Big Pond Podcasts is our ad network/agency of choice. Tariq and Jaco are knowledgable, great guys to work with.

  • Association of Independents in Radio (AIR) has been an invaluable resource to me. AIR equips independent audio makers with mentorship, training, tools, and peer support, and their advocacy for fair wages and rates is essential. I highly encourage anyone working in audio to join.

  • LADIO NYC is a (private) group of seasoned audio producers and professionals who share work-in-progress, advice, and support. It’s easily my favorite inbox to read through, and I’ve made connections and hired talented people through LADIO recommendations. If you’re a woman or another marginalized gender working in audio and want to join, let me know. 

  • Drew Gurian is the angel and portrait photographer who did my headshots. What a gift to have such a crazy talented friend.
