How STR Like the Best Built a Consistent Short-Form Video Engine

STR Like the Best host Michael Chang was producing strong episodes on a consistent schedule, but the short-form video that keeps a show visible between episodes kept falling through the cracks.

 

Podcast Engineers took over the clip workflow end to end, turning every episode into a steady stream of Reels and Shorts.

STR Like the Best podcast cover art

With Podcast Engineers running the short-form workflow end to end, STR Like the Best stays visible between episodes without host Michael Chang having to manage the grind himself. Every episode gets cut into highlight clips built for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts — the moments that stop a scroll, communicate value fast, and pull listeners back to the full episode.

The relationship has been active and ongoing for two years and counting, through episodes, feedback rounds, and a growing scope of work.

The account has grown to 266 short-form posts and counting — and by April 2026 the team was already expanding the scope, adding a new stream of client testimonial videos.

STR Like the Best short-form video results

What we did:

  • Identified the strongest clip moments from every episode
  • Cut, captioned, and formatted each clip for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts
  • Maintained a consistent visual style that reflects Michael’s brand
  • Delivered a steady cadence of short-form content week over week

“Been very impressed with the work recently too. Thank you for collaborating and working with our feedback!”
– Issy Sheridan, Marketing and Operations Lead, STR Like the Best

Sample clips from the show:

The short-form problem is not a creative problem. It is a systems problem. Most hosts know their best clips are sitting inside their episodes — they just do not have the bandwidth to pull them out consistently. We watch the episodes, find the moments, cut the clips, format them, and deliver them, week after week, without the host having to manage it.
