Audio & Podcasts
Are you listening?
We produce podcasts for brands, businesses and organisations who need audio that actually works. From narrative series and branded podcasts to interview shows - we handle everything from concept and scripting to studio recording, editing and sound design. We've created original podcasts like the Newcastle Witches Podcast as well as a varied range of clients. Based in Newcastle and Gateshead with video podcast capabilities and location recording available.
Production process
Podcast popularity is surging, which means standing out is harder than ever. We work in clear stages:
Development - shaping your concept, scripting and structuring episodes to hook listeners and keep them coming back;
Recording - capturing audio (and video if needed) in our studios or on location;
Post-production - editing, sound design, music and final delivery.
Our expertise is in guiding you to create a podcast that doesn't just launch - it builds and keeps an audience across all episodes. You'll have access to shared documents and progress updates throughout, so you always know where we're at and can feedback directly.
