At Galleon Studios we have the kit and location for you to start making unique audio (and video) Podcasts. So, if you are a hobbyist, a professional, or an entrepreneur with a great idea we can help you produce what may be your first Podcast.
Offering premium production facilities our Podcast recording studio offers filming and audio recording. If you opt for a Vodcast or video Podcast in our studios then we can offer up to 3 diffrent camera angles – live edited to save you time.
The Right Soundproof Environment
People will tell you that Podcasting is ill affordable. Really if you want to start a Podcast there’s very few barriers to entry. Affordable microphones are plentiful and the tools to put together a great show are readily available. Audacity software is free and a USB microphone is a relatively cheap investment. The big stumbling block with creating content is finding a soundproof location to record. It’s a noisy world and most amateur shows suffer from bangs, planes and car engines that are just part of life.
At Galleon Studios we’re fortunate to have 2 fully soundproof studios in our northwest studio facility. What’s more, our soundproof filming studios are used by all the major broadcasters for video content, film and TV. You’ll have seen it on numerous clip shows, dramas and e-learning videos without even realising it. As it’s a dynamic creative space we felt that turning the studios into the idyllic Podcasting environment was a no-brainer. You’ll find we have the tools, the skills and the prices to make sure that you can produce a quality, highly professional and, if it’s your aim, profitable Podcast.

The Best Kit For Creators
We’re passionate about Podcasts. In investing in kit we made two important decisions. We wanted specialist kit. Moreover we also wanted kit that any novice can use. If you’re new to Podcasting or even do it at your own home studio we didn’t want our space to be intimidating. We, therefore, bought the new Rode Rodecaster recording desk along with high-quality headphones. It’s so simple to use that you’ll love it. It won’t be like walking into a recording studio with a bank of desks you fear touching. We want you to have complete control. Furthermore, our mics are the finest too. We used the Rode NT1, Schoepps and other condenser mics to give you the best sound without any effort on your part.
Leave with your Podcast
The great thing about the Rodecaster Pro is that it records directly to Micro SD card. A big Red Button tells you it’s recording. A big Green Button tells you it’s stopped. It has 8 programmable pads for jingles, adverts, and sound effects, meaning you can edit those in on-the-fly. What’s more, you can leave and upload your brand new Podcast to your hosting provider the very same day.
Podcast and Video Stream simultaneously
At Galleon Studios we’re a specialist filming studios, infact we’ve won awards, so if you want to live stream your Podcast we have that available too. We bought a fantastic camera called a Mevo. You can install the software to operate it onto your phone. Not just a webcam the Mevo has a built in AI so it can detect who’s talking and literally cut to a close up of them. Thusly it offers a whole new world of possibilities to the Podcaster.
Streaming to a Facebook Page, YouTube, Twitch, LinkedIn or your own site is just a button push and if you choose to do this you instantly open yourself up for interactivity. What’s more viewers can comment and participate making it a great platform for discussion. Again, the Mevo records to SD card so again you can take the video to upload later or re-edit. Some use these video podcasts or Vodcasts as purchasable content for their supporters on Patreon.
Want a bit more control of the stream? You can hire our crew to operate cameras to Livestream your own TV show at our Podcast recording space. Contact us for a quote about this. We can give as much or as little support as you request.
Marketing Your Company and That Of Your Clients
Podcasting is great way to promote your business, it’s ethos and new products. Furthermore, using a professional Podcast studios both demonstrates your commitment to professionalism and saves you time. Both you and your guests can arrive, enjoy the creation of the Podcast and leave with a very marketable, very shareable and extremely cost-effective Podcast. You don’t need to maintain a studio or record from home/office. Just use the studio space as and when you need it.
Podcasting Is Social
It’s great to get together with friends and put the world to rites. Podcasts provide a platform for you to share what you are passionate about. Do you collect Vinyl? Podcast about it.

Kris and Les came highly recommended by many, and I can see why! Incredibly helpful guys with fantastic facilities in a great location. We're looking forward to coming back. Louise Jones28 February 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the initial contact and array of questions I needed to throw at Kris and Les ahead of the shoot right through to the shoot days, Kris and Les were so thorough and helpful which was a huge, huge piece of mind. Even advising on a great caterer! On the shoot days, we couldn't have asked for more support, expertise and knowledge. Galleon made the whole process so easy and professional, I will not look anywhere else! For reference, I utilised the smaller green screen studio for the adding in of digital backdrops, dressing areas for the actors, autocue and operator, single camera and operator and even ended up using some of Galleon's props and make-up (thank you!!). Thank you, Team Galleon! *bows down in awe and thanks* "I'll be back"
