Video podcast production for ambitious brands
YouTube and Spotify have changed how podcasts get discovered, and consumed. It could be a second screen in the office or headphones on the commute. The best video podcasts are built to work either way. Getting that right demands podcast thinking on top of video thinking. Others can shoot a video podcast. Our aim is to hold the audience whether the screen's on or off.
We make video podcasts that hold attention, built around your objectives, not filming for the sake of it. Strategy first, camera second.
Your video podcast is out there. But is it working?
Looking good is the easy part. Getting watched, finished and recommended is the work most brands underestimate.
A video podcast that earns its place on YouTube is built differently from the start - episodes structured to hold attention past the thirty-second drop-off, thumbnails and titles that actually get clicked, metadata and chapters that work with the algorithm rather than against it. Every one of those decisions changes how the show performs.
Most of it isn't visible to the audience. All of it is the difference between a video podcast that exists and one that grows.
More than pointing a camera
End-to-end video podcast production services
Anyone can record a conversation on video. But a video podcast that actually works, that holds attention, builds subscribers, looks like it belongs on YouTube and ties seamlessly back to your Podcast DNA – that involves decisions most clients haven’t had to think about yet.
Do you look down the lens or let the camera observe? What does this say about your brand? Do you need a title sequence, motion graphics or custom thumbnails? What makes someone click, watch and come back?
Every decision rooted in the strategy.
Visual identity and set design - look and feel that fits your brand, not someone else’s template
Location scouting - not just any studio. The right room for the right show
- Multi-camera filming - 4K capture, broadcast audio, cinematic lighting
Remote and hybrid shoots - guests in different cities, different continents, same standard
Graphics, titles and motion design - a visual signature that’s unmistakably you
Short-form clip strategy - Reels, Shorts, TikToks or LinkedIn cuts, built for each platform
Full post-production - editing, colour grading, audio mixing and mastering
We don’t just shoot. We understand the medium
Why choose 18Sixty?
A video production company can put cameras in a room. A social agency can chop the result into clips. But neither of them has spent years understanding what makes a podcast audience listen, watch, and choose to come back next week. That’s a very specific kind of knowledge, and the difference between a video that looks right and video podcast that actually performs.
Others can shoot a video – we build video podcasts. It’s an important distinction.
Do you actually need a full video series or is audio plus a smart clip strategy better use of your budget? We’ll tell you honestly. We make that call based on what fits your audience and your business objectives.
Video done right is an investment. We make sure it earns its keep.
On camera. On brand. On the record
Brands we’ve made video podcasts with on what the process looks like – from set to screen in their own words.
18Sixty have been great partners at all stages of us creating our first ever podcast. I can tell they listened well to our vision right from the earliest discovery session, as the final product has been just what we had in mind. The production team and services have been top tier, resulting in a great quality production above what I thought we could have done.

Your set. Your crew. Anywhere
Cinematic filming, wherever your brand needs it
Every show has a space that suits it best. Sometimes that’s a fully equipped studio with multi-camera rig. Sometimes it’s your office, your event, your world. For on-location video podcasts, we bring the crew and kit to you. Sometimes the brief calls for something more bespoke – a set designed and built around your brand or a location nobody’s filmed a podcast in before.
And when in-person isn’t possible, we can handle remote video recording properly without anyone getting on a plane. The setup adapts to the show - not the other way round.
From strategy to screen
Our video podcast production workflow
Four steps from concept to YouTube-ready. Each one led by a producer who has worked on shows you’ve heard of — and who knows exactly where video goes wrong.
One size doesn’t fit all
Tailored video podcast packages
Video matters. But it isn't all or nothing. How far you take it depends on your audience and your content strategy. These are the three most common ways brands work with us.

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.

Video podcast production 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.
Roll camera
Video podcasts cost more than audio. They also reach further, last longer, and prove harder for competitors to copy. If you’re going to make one, make it count.
