A real studio in Woolwich, South East London, in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The same broadcast kit at every price. Two ways to book: hire the room and run it yourself, or have Mike produce the session. Both start at a 2-hour minimum, so the first number you see is also the smallest bill you will get.

Why managed costs more
At £55 you get the room and the kit, set up and handed over. If you can run a mixer, switch cameras and keep an eye on levels while you talk, that is all you need, and it is the cheapest legitimate way to record a show that sounds professional.
At £85 Mike stays in the room: levels, camera switching, a mic that drifts, a guest who needs a prompt. You leave with a recording that needs less fixing, and you spent the session on the conversation. For a first episode, a video podcast or a guest you want to impress, it is usually the cheapest part of the whole production.
Want the edit done too? Full Production is £595 an episode, recorded with Mike and delivered with clips, show notes and a transcript. What a podcast studio costs in South East London ›
