About this space

Whether you're starting your first podcast, recording regular episodes, filming interviews, or creating content for your audience, our podcast studio provides a professional and welcoming space to bring your ideas to life.

Designed for both audio and video podcast recording, the studio features acoustic treatment, a multi-microphone setup, monitoring equipment, and flexible backdrops to help you create content that looks and sounds great.

You can hire the studio in two ways:
Self-operate hire - for experienced podcasters who want the space and equipment
without a producer
Guided Sessions - for those looking for extra support an Open Lens Productions producer runs the session with you. They will handle the setup, recording and technical side direction.

Do you need help after you've finished recording? We also offer optional add-ons including:
* Episode editing and mixing,
* Social media edited clips
* Show notes and transcriptions
* Thumbnail design
* Fast turnaround available on request

If you can't make it to the studio - through OLP On Location, we can bring our podcast production setup to your venue, office, event, conference or panel discussion across the Midlands and beyond.

Whether you're an individual creator, a business, or an organisation looking to share stories and ideas, we're here to make the process simple, professional and stress-free.

Get in touch today to discuss your podcast, check availability, or book your next recording session.
