We've been producing broadcast-quality podcasts since 2006, for organisations as diverse as the Open University, the Economist and the NHS. Our podcasts can be designed in familiar formats such as documentaries and interviews, as well as less common formats like personal stories and audio montages.

Documentary
This format consists of clips from interviews woven together with carefully scripted narrative links.
The documentary on vulnerable women shown here was initially released as four podcasts over four weeks, which helped it gain national media attention. |

Audio montage
The audio montage format is perfect for creating vivid pictures in the mind: clips from interviews edited back to back with no presenter.
Here are four examples of this format. The audio featuring nurses voices was initially played during a conference, to set the scene for a discussion. The UCL podcast on art and architecture is part of a series of podcasts about treasures from the university's Special Collections Library. The other two podcasts were created to share the work of charities. |

Roundtables
The roundtable discussion is a popular format for organisations wishing to showcase in-house talent.
Here is an episode of the popular King's Fund Podcast, and a podcast about the Press Complaints Commission's annual review. We recorded both these podcasts at the clients' offices. |

|
Interviews
We produce the long-running Expert Interview podcast series for Mind Tools from Emerald Works, an award-winning management training company.
The other example here is part of a podcast series about professional development. The interview format ensures a lively tone, increasing listener engagement. |

Audio tours
This is a popular format for visitor attractions of all descriptions.
Here are examples from a tour of an award-winning housing development and a walk along an ancient earthwork looked after by English Heritage. |

Exhibition audio
Audio is often used by museums to enhance the visitor experience.
Here is an original fairy tale recorded for Historic Royal Palaces. The other audio, featuring explorer Jim McNeill, was created for an exhibition at the National Maritime Museum. |
