a friendly, hands-on, jargon-free approach to production

We've been busy since 2008 - creating thousands of podcasts for organisations and individuals across the world in all sectors including charity, entertainment, financial, legal, medical and sports.

Working with The Podcast Company was fantastic. They were professional, efficient and made the whole process of recording, which can be intimidating to those unfamiliar with broadcast, really easy. The results were of a high quality and I’m looking forward to working with them again. Thank you!
GWEN WEBBER, ROYAL INSTITUTE OF BRITISH ARCHITECTS
TPC provided technical expertise and established an excellent working relationship. They also provided a very rare quality: that of anticipating our needs.
GRAHAM BUSHNELL, EDITIONS BELIN PUBLISHERS
We approached The Podcast Company with very little time on our side. They were helpful and patient throughout the whole process, leaving us with a polished, high-quality production.
KATY LEWIS, LEXUS CAMBRIDGE
Our ‘Leadership Confessions’ podcast has enabled us to provide even more value to our clients and has been a useful branding and comms tool. The Podcast Company have been brilliant - providing a personal service, fully understanding our brief and helping us every step of the way - from script content to designing the show logo.

This is super! I’ve just listened to our podcasts and the quality is perfect...you guys do an amazing job!

Thank you for the brilliant viral marketing campaign you put together...it wasn't just four heads telling people to support the campaign; the sketches were just what was needed.

The friendly yet professional service helped us to create a concise, original podcast that can be appreciated across a variety of audiences.

NIKOLETTA ISANT, YOUNG ENTERPRISE (Money Heroes podcast)
The Podcast Company are both professional and personable in a manner that not many can achieve. A great team that I love working with whose advice and technical expertise has been invaluable.
PENNY DE VALK, GRIT IN THE OYSTER PODCAST - EMPOWERING WOMEN LEADERS
The producer's expertise was fantastic - he gave us really useful advice about collecting the stories to tell, and the people to tell them.
SUE PIGEON, NEIGHBOURHOOD NETWORK SW12 & SW17 COMMUNITY GROUP
The Podcast Company have been absolutely brilliant to work with. They helped us produce our first ever podcast. We arrived as complete novices, not really having any grasp of how to go about such a process, and they helped walk us through this clearly and in a really accessible way. They were hugely helpful, friendly and made all participants feel at ease. Would recommend them to any organisations wanting to take the leap - or keep working in - this form of media.
SOPHIE BRAY-WATKINS, WARCHILD UK
I am thrilled to have worked with the Podcast Company on my podcast, The Healthtech VC. They are true professionals, enabling recording of the highest quality audio. Our producer has been particularly excellent, working closely with our social media team to release and distribute the podcast.
Dr Fiona Pathiraja, HEALTHTECH VC

PODCAST FAQ

Stacks Image 1348
SOME OF YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED HERE
Q: How much does it cost to make a podcast?
A: Ah… how long's a piece of string?! We've found that every podcast is different for a number of factors so we ask clients to consider the following to determine cost:

What's the format e.g. round table chat or magazine show requiring creative/scripting?
Approximate duration of episodes (edited)?
Number of episodes, if known
Presenter required?
Hosting and Distribution required?

Perhaps you require an 'edit only' service which we're happy to provide.
We will always try to work within your budget to deliver the best solution.
Q: How do you record a podcast?
A: Depending on your budget you can either record in a professional studio, at your place of work (e.g. in an office) or at home. If you're not in studio, you will ideally have a good quality microphone for each contributor. The Podcast Company will provide these for location recordings (along with a sound guy) and will even courier microphones to client's homes.

Recordings are usually made directly onto a digital storage medium - i.e. the studio computer, a memory card in a portable recorder or via an online studio platform.
There's a variety of recording equipment and online platforms to choose from - if you are looking to record this way…
Q: How easy is it to record a podcast from home?
A: Anyone can set up and record from home with a little patience and the right equipment.

Firstly, you'll need a good quality microphone. There are many inexpensive models to choose from that will plug straight into your laptop. We'll gladly share a few options with you...
You should also set up in a quiet space with as many soft furnishings in it as possible - such as curtains, carpet and bedding rather than hard surfaces. A bedroom is better than a bathroom! This is to absorb excessive sound.

Next, decide on a recording medium. Will you record directly into your computer? A portable device? Or an online platform? Whatever you decide to use, make sure to use multi-track option if there's more than one contributor. This makes audio processing and editing A LOT easier.

You can then send the individual audio files to us for editing.
Q: Can I record a podcast with guests anywhere in the world?
A: Yes!
Using online platforms such as Zencastr and Cleanfeed, it's now possible to hook up with guests wherever they are in the world.
We strongly advise testing the connections before any recordings and using good quality USB mics where possible.
Q: What is a podcast producer and what do you do as a podcast production service?
A: A podcast producer will pull the whole project together and oversee every stage of production. Depending on your requirements, these will be:
- pre-production which includes initial creative ideas, formatting, scripting and technical set up
- recording in studio, on location or via online platform
- post-production which includes audio processing, editing, adding voiceovers, music and any other elements
- delivery to hosting platform and distribution

At The Podcast Company, we can help with all or just some aspects of production; from pre-production through to distribution.
As every project is different, it's best to give us an idea of what you have in mind so we can create a proposal and costing that's bespoke to you, giving you the most efficient and cost-effective solution.
Q: What equipment do I need to start a podcast?
A: Very little! You can begin recording with just a good-quality USB microphone but you may want to include a recording device (for location recording).
Online recording platforms mean you can use your laptop to record and store audio files locally before sending to us for editing.
Should you wish to edit yourself, you will need a sound editing suite. There are some freebies out there (like Audacity) that are great for learning. Editing and audio processing (cleaning audio) take time (and good software) to get right, though; this is why clients often pass their audio to us for edits.
Q: Can you distribute my podcast once it’s created?
A: Yes, of course. We will set up a hosting account that we feel is best suited to your needs, help with logo creation, advise on the best way to structure your show notes, metadata/keywords and discuss with you the realistic frequency of output (Once a month? Twice a month? Weekly?)

We will then feed the podcast to all major apps such as Apple, Spotify, Google and Amazon and even create promotional assets for you to use such as audiograms and audio snippets.
Q: What podcast recording services can you provide?
A: We can record in one of our London studios, at your place of work (e.g. offices) or on location - indoors or outdoors!. We can also record remotely so you don't need to leave your home - we can even equip you with a good quality USB microphone to achieve the best possible audio quality.

We can record as many guests as you like.
Q: How do I promote my podcast?
A: Once a podcast episode is made, we strongly advise creating promotional assets such as audiograms and audio snippets that can be used on social media channels to drive traffic to the full episode.
Social media and reaching out to existing contacts (via an email list, for example) remain the most effective ways of building an audience without additional expenditure.

Should you wish to invest in further marketing, you will need to consider advertising (through other podcasts, for example) or engaging the services of a dedicated marketing manager.
Q: Can I create a private podcast?
A: Yes.
Podcasts don't need to be shared on public apps such as Apple & Spotify. You can create content that is for a select group of listeners, such as your staff, colleagues or friends.
To do this, you will need to choose the right hosting platform that enables private hosting. Or have the website manager upload it to the website's own server.

The podcast can then be shared via a private link or embedded into a private/intranet page on your website.
