Broadcast trained. Podcast made

Podcast production services for ambitious brands

You bring the voice and the story and we build everything around it. End-to-end production with broadcast-quality audio and video - the kind of show that earns repeat listening rather than polite indifference.

Made by people who learned their craft on national radio, made for brands with a story worth amplifying.

Bad audio is louder than you think

Wrestling with audio kit and editing software?

Three takes ruined by a noise in the next room. A guest’s mic level mysteriously twice everyone else’s. Then the editing - line by line, breath by breath, until the deadline beats you. And yes, AI tools can edit, but they don’t understand the intricacies of structure and flow like an expert human eye.

DIY production costs time, focus and the show you actually wanted to make. Hand the technical heavy lifting to a team that lives and breathes broadcast-standard audio and video – and get your week back.

From blank page to charting show

Full-service podcast production, built around your brand

Some brands come with an idea on the back of an envelope. Others arrive with a half-finished show that needs a steadier hand. We’ve worked with both and every stage in between.

As a full-service podcast production company, we can take care of it all so you don’t end up stitching together freelancers, studios and editors who’ve never spoken.

This is what that looks like.

Podcast concept development and format design

Guest research and booking

Professional audio engineering and video production – in studio, on location, or fully remote

Script assistance and run-of-show

Expert editing, mixing and mastering

Bespoke sound design, sonic identity or original music

Show artwork, video GFX and on-brand visual identity

Handover into distribution and promotion

One team. One point of contact. One show you’ll be proud to share.

We honed our craft in broadcasting

Why choose 18Sixty as your podcast production partner

A freelance editor can clean up your audio. A specialist agency can assemble a team that crafts a show that earns its place in someone’s week.

18Sixty is an award-winning, podcast agency with a team shaped at the likes of Absolute Radio, Virgin Radio, the BBC and who've worked on some of the world’s best-known podcasts. That’s the standard we hold every project to.

We find the sweet spot between the story your brand wants to tell and the story your audience actually wants to hear, then build a show that’s unmistakably yours. From a single recording, we create clips, transcripts, short-form video and social content that work harder than one single episode can.

In their own words

The podcast is exactly how we hoped our brand would sound. 18Sixty have been great to work with and really felt like an extension of our team when planning our podcast. They understand us as a business, but bring their own expertise and experience to the table. We feel like we are in safe hands working with 18Sixty.

Alice Cottingham - PR Manager, Canopy & Stars

The work put into our podcast episode with Reasons To Be Cheerful was absolutely brilliant. The team helped bring together incredible guests from different backgrounds within sustainability and experiences of plant-based diets, resulting in thoroughly personal, genuine, educational, and engaging conversations. All beautifully produced and edited into a highly enjoyable piece of listening.

Erica Lowe - UK Campaign and Collaboration Manager, Oatly

18Sixty are fantastic to work with. Insightful, aspirational and engaging, their approach to podcast production is an ideal match and a big reason why Waterlands is a success.

Jon Boardman - Content Manager, WWT

Seamless production, masterful editing work, calm and controlled throughout. Apart from Ricky and Tony’s wit and charm, what makes Pop Detectives is the guests, all meticulously curated and researched.

Will Nichols - Head of Creative, Globe / Universal Music Group

Studio. Office. Anywhere that works.

Studio-grade recording in the right location

The best conversations don’t always wait for a calendar slot in the right location. So we travel.

Come to one of our partner studios – multi-camera setups, broadcast lighting and soundproofed spaces ready to go. Or we bring the studio to you. Mobile kit that turns your office, an event,
or a unique location into a professional recording space.

Need to interview a CEO in Singapore on Tuesday? We’ll find a studio there or record remotely, fully directed by our producer.

01

Discovery workshop

Professional recording

Broadcast-quality audio and video - in a studio, on location, or remotely. With a producer who's done this hundreds of times, getting the best out of everyone.

03

Asset creation

Broadcast-ready files, show notes and transcripts, plus short-form video clips for Reels, TikToks and Shorts. Every recording working harder than a single episode.

Strategy

Great podcasts begin with the right questions. Who’s the audience? What’s the story this brand can tell? What does success look like? We answer those questions, then we build the show. Strategy is the red thread that runs through every decision, every episode, every season. The shows people can’t stop talking about? They were planned that way.

FAQs

A podcast production company plans, records, edits and launches branded podcasts on behalf of clients. At 18Sixty, that runs from concept and discovery workshop through to broadcast-ready audio, video, distribution and promotion, handled by one specialist team.

It depends on ambition, scope and what you want the show to achieve, every partnership priced around you. Podcasting done well needs real investment, and strategy is built into everything we make. Production partnerships typically start from £5,000 a month, with video from around £8,000.

No. We bring everything to you, studio, mobile rig or remote setup - broadcast-grade microphones, multi-track recorders, lighting and cameras. Or we put you in a studio, or recommend the best kit for you to invest in.

Yes. Multi-camera filming, cinematic lighting and a YouTube-ready edit are core capabilities. Many clients now run audio and video in parallel from a single recording.

A standard episode edit, including sound design and mixing, typically delivers within 5-7 working days. Faster turnarounds are possible though depending on what we're making.

From initial brief to first episode live, expect 6-10 weeks for a new branded show. That includes strategy, format development, recording days, edit cycles and platform setup.

None. Most of our clients are launching their first show. Hosting coaching, script support and a producer on every recording mean experience is something you build with us, not something you need beforehand.

Consistency and frequency are key. Weekly or fortnightly tends to build the strongest listening habit. We'll recommend a cadence that fits your team's capacity and the audience's appetite.

Yes. Concept development is where every project starts. Our discovery workshop turns rough thinking into a defined format, audience and editorial direction before anyone steps up to a mic or a camera.

Yes, clips massively expand the reach of podcast content. Every recording feeds short-form clips for Reels, TikTok, LinkedIn, Instagram or YouTube. One conversation feeds a calendar's worth of content.

Yes. We're a complete podcast partner for brands and businesses, taking a show from blank page to charting. The clients getting the most out of us are the ones we work hand in hand with on an ongoing basis.

Yes, we nearly always do. We work collaboratively as an extension of your team, and because we're small, you can pick up the phone whenever you need to run an idea past us, ask a question or sense-check something. Clients tell us that's the bit they value most.

No, we help some clients find their way in podcasting, others we're pure strategy partners. But most clients prefer to carry the strategy straight through to production with us for continuity.

Not always. Every show is different. We record in studios, or we come to you, at live events or other exciting locations. Or take advantage of our tried and tested remote recording setup.

Yes. End-to-end is the default: strategy, shoots, post-production, YouTube channel optimisation, distribution to audio platforms and short-form social. One team, one point of contact, one show that holds together.

Winning shows don’t wait

The best brands aren’t waiting for podcasting to settle down. They’re building shows that compound — episode after episode, season after season. If that sounds like the company you want to keep, let’s talk.
