FAQ

Pricing questions answered.

What does "2 hour minimum" mean?

Hourly sessions are billed with a 2-hour minimum booking. If you run under 2 hours, you still pay for 2 hours. Over that, it is pro-rata. Day blocks (half-day £175 / full-day £270) and Full Production episodes (£350 single / £270 in a 4-pack of £1,080) are flat-rate, no minimum to worry about.

Is VAT included in the prices?

Prices are ex-VAT. VAT is added at the standard UK rate on invoice where applicable.

Do you offer retainer or weekly discounts?

Yes. Weekly and fortnightly retainers are available on Full Production — recurring slots, priority scheduling and reduced per-episode rates. Contact us for a quote.

Can I upgrade mid-session?

Usually yes. Hourly bookings can extend into a day block on the day if the room is free. Hourly or day-block sessions can be upgraded to Full Production retrospectively — we'll quote on the recorded material once you decide.

What payment methods do you accept?

Card, bank transfer, and Stripe invoice. Payment is due before the recording day unless you have a retainer agreement.

What is your cancellation policy?

72 hours+ notice: full refund. 24–72 hours: 50% refund. Under 24 hours: non-refundable, but we will try to reschedule to a slot within 30 days.

Do you support remote guests?

Yes. We can route remote guests into the recording with broadcast-quality audio (Riverside / SquadCast / custom routing). Included in Standard and Full.

Can I add brand video or headshots to a podcast session?

Yes. Same studio, same day. Ask for a combined content-day quote and we will package it with the podcast session.
