Everything you need to launch

Consultations

We talk through your idea and how a podcast could fit your work, your business or your project.

Show concept and structure

Your idea shaped into a format you can follow for the whole series: topics, guests, episode length and how often you release.

Help with scripting

Guidance on intros, outros and links, plus honest feedback on your interviewing style.

Recording kit, yours to keep

A microphone, accessories and the recording and distribution software for a two-person interview setup. Camera not included.

Recording days and lessons

We record with you in person, set up your space with you and coach you until pressing record feels normal.

Theme music and sound

Music written for your show and shaped with you, plus the transitions and stings made from it.

Pilot episode

Your first finished episode, with everything in place.

Distribution

We set up your hosting and submit the show to Spotify, Apple Podcasts and the other major platforms.

How it works

From first chat to first episode

  1. A free call

    Tell us your idea, however rough.

  2. We plan it

    Format, length and how each episode opens.

  3. We get you set up

    The right kit and a practice run, wherever you record.

  4. You record, we produce

    We edit, add your music and mix it.

  5. You launch

    Live everywhere people listen.

It usually takes one to two months. That gives us time to record at least three episodes, so you can release steadily from day one.

Throughout, you can reach us by email or WhatsApp. Once you've launched, we can keep producing each episode for you, or you can take it from there with the skills and kit you now have.

Shows we've started

Questions

Starting a podcast: common questions

Do I need a studio to start a podcast?

No. Most people record at home or at work. In the UK we can also come to you, or you can record with us in Bristol.

I've never recorded anything. Is that a problem?

Not at all. It's who we work with most. We walk you through the setup and run a practice recording first.

What equipment do I need?

Less than you'd think. The full start-up package includes a microphone and kit that are yours to keep. On the starter package you buy your own, and we tell you exactly what to get.

Do I have to commit to a whole series?

No. The starter package gets one episode made and published, so you can see how it feels. From there you can carry on one episode at a time, or move up to the full start-up package.

Can I record with guests who are somewhere else?

Yes. We set you up to record online, with each voice saved as its own high-quality file.

What does it cost?

It depends on the package and the show, so you get a clear quote after a free call. If you'd like a rough idea first, ask for our price guide and we'll email it over.

Got a show in mind?

Tell us about it, even if it's only half an idea. The first call is free.
