Start your search for podcast studios in Manchester's city centre. The heart of the city contains several studios around the Northern Quarter and Spinningfields. Other options are found outside the central quarters, particularly to the north in neighbourhoods near Great Ancoats St around Bradford and Cheetham Hill. To the east, check for options in the riverside neighbourhood near the Quays. 

When hiring a studio, make sure that the room has been soundproofed with either paneling or foam blocks to ensure that you are capturing high-quality audio. You should also expect to find one or two microphones on booms or stands and headphones and a comfortable seating area because recording a podcast takes time! There should also be aboard capable of mixing the audio and recording on hand, such as a Rodecaster. Many studios offer an optional audio engineer, and if you can afford it, this can definitely ensure that your finished product is as good as it can be. Further considerations for your studio hire would be post-production services. While every studio will provide you with an audio file at the end of your session, there is quite a good bit of editing that will be required, so this can play a large part in your decision.
