A podcast studio
built for tech brands.
Two cameras, broadcast microphones, a proper producer and distribution out the back door. On London's Southbank, sized for up to four guests, engineered for shows that want to be heard by a technical audience rather than a general one.
What the studio actually is
A dedicated podcast room, not a co-working booth with a ring light. Two broadcast cameras positioned for host-and-guest angles, a third overhead for inserts, Shure SM7B / broadcast dynamic microphones per speaker, engineered audio capture with isolated tracks, and a control room next door where the producer drives the session. Acoustically treated walls, a clean backdrop that plays well on social, and dressing plus green-room space so guests arrive calm rather than harried.
It's the kind of setup that usually sits inside a network podcast studio in New York or a BBC audio floor — at prices that work for a B2B marketing team running a single branded series or an analyst firm recording a weekly show.
Shows we record here
- Branded B2B series — multi-episode runs where a tech brand wants a podcast that pays back in leads and thought-leadership, not vanity metrics.
- Analyst and research shows — industry analysts interviewing practitioners, vendors or customers, with the production value that lets the show compete for subscriber attention.
- Founder and executive interviews — interview series where the host carries the narrative and the guests rotate weekly.
- Customer story podcasts — recurring interviews with customers about how they use a platform or solved a problem, edited as a podcast plus social cutdowns.
- Panel-format shows — three or four panellists debating category topics, with a house producer keeping structure tight.
- Live-recorded podcasts — shows recorded in front of an in-room audience at an event or client day, produced as both a podcast and a video.
Why tech brands end up here
Most corporate podcast studios can record clean audio. What they cannot do is understand the subject matter your audience actually cares about. If the host is interviewing a CISO about post-quantum cryptography and the producer is googling what SHA-256 is, the episode drifts. Our crew has spent a decade on technology content — the questions we script, the angles we coach, and the edits we make reflect the category. The shows we produce get into the subject faster, stay specific longer, and end up with downloads from the audience you actually want.
Post-production, hosting and distribution
The studio does not stop at the recording. Standard episode edit is five to seven working days and includes loudness-corrected audio masters for Spotify and Apple, a 16:9 video episode with chapter markers, a 9:16 vertical cut for LinkedIn and TikTok, episode graphics, transcripts and show-notes. Hosting on Buzzsprout, Captivate or Megaphone can be handled by us; feed submission to Apple, Spotify, Amazon, Google and Pocket Casts is part of onboarding. Video uploads to YouTube and LinkedIn come with proper metadata so the platforms can rank the episode.
House hosts, if you need one
Not every brief has a natural in-house presenter. We keep a small roster of hosts with deep tech subject-matter experience across cloud, cybersecurity, AI infrastructure and data platforms. They're particularly valuable for analyst-led series, partner spotlight shows and research-heavy formats where the questions need to be sharper than a marketing team would usually script.
Booking the room
Half-day, full-day or series-block bookings. Single-episode bookings can be accommodated inside a week. Multi-episode series clients typically plan a season at a time, locking in recording dates and edit slots to avoid last-minute scramble. Pricing is transparent — day-rate led, with the edit quoted separately so you can see exactly what the episode cost and what the audience reach cost.
The podcast studio, answered.
What does a day in the podcast studio cost?
Half-day hire with two cameras, engineered audio, a producer and a same-day multitrack export starts at £850. Full day with edit and episode graphics from £1,650. Multi-episode series blocks (six episodes across two days) are our most cost-efficient booking and start at around £5,800. All prices include talent hosting, dressing, green-room access and same-day rough audio.
How many guests can you record at once?
Four talent comfortably in our standard configuration, five at a squeeze. Each guest gets their own Shure SM7B / broadcast dynamic mic with isolated capture, so post-production can re-mix per speaker. Remote guests over Riverside, SquadCast or Zoom also work and are captured in full quality rather than the compressed stream.
Can you edit the episodes for us afterwards?
Yes — most clients book post-production with the shoot. Standard episode edit is five to seven working days from rushes handover. We deliver the master audio in podcast-ready formats (MP3, WAV, optional loudness-corrected versions for Spotify and Apple), a video episode at 16:9 plus a vertical 9:16 social cut, chapter markers and transcript. For episodic series we build a reusable branded template so episodes look consistent across a season.
Do you handle distribution to Apple, Spotify, YouTube and the rest?
We can set up a hosting account (Buzzsprout, Captivate, Megaphone — client choice) and deliver episodes into it for you. Feed submission to Apple, Spotify, Amazon, Google and Pocket Casts is part of the onboarding. For video, we upload to your YouTube and LinkedIn with episode metadata, thumbnails and chapter markers so episodes are searchable on the platforms themselves.
Can we record video as well as audio?
Yes — the room is built video-first. Two broadcast cameras, three-point lighting per guest, clean backdrop, and a separate overhead for a table-top insert if the episode calls for it. Full-video episodes are standard. Audio-only episodes are also fine if you prefer — we'll still capture video for social cutdowns.
Do you have a house host or interview producer if we need one?
Yes. We have a roster of hosts with deep tech subject-matter experience — cloud, cybersecurity, AI, data platforms — who can carry an interview without the client needing to front the show themselves. House hosts are quoted per episode and are particularly useful for analyst interviews, partner spotlight series and research-led shows.
Where is the studio?
Cargo Works, 1-2 Hatfields, London, SE1 9PG — on the Southbank in central London. A couple of minutes from Southwark station, under ten from Waterloo and Blackfriars. Dressing and green-room space for talent, dedicated podcast room (not a shared coworking booth), acoustically treated.
