Podcast production · Manchester
Podcast production in Manchester, handled end to end.
You turn up and talk. We plan the format, record it multi-camera, edit the episode, cut the clips and hand it back ready to publish.
What's included
A series people finish, and clips people find.
Format and planning
Episode structure, running order, guest prep and the look of the series — agreed before anyone sits down.
Multi-camera recording
Three-camera setups with broadcast-grade microphones, monitored and mixed live so post starts from a clean take.
Full episode edit
Cut, mixed, graded and captioned, with intros, lower thirds and any branding your channel needs.
Clips that travel
Vertical clips for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, plus custom thumbnails built to earn the click.
The room
Recorded at Empire Studios, Manchester.
A purpose-built podcast space with treated acoustics, controlled lighting and a set that looks like a brand rather than a boardroom. ShortCut runs the production; Empire provides the space, and hires it out by the hour separately.
About the studio
FAQs
Common questions.
- Where do you record podcasts in Manchester?
- Most episodes are recorded at Empire Studios, our dedicated studio partner in Manchester. We also record on location — offices, venues, or on a padel court, as we did for Bricks to Riches at the National Tennis Centre.
- Do you record video podcasts as well as audio?
- Yes. Everything is filmed multi-camera with broadcast-grade audio, so a single session produces a full video episode, an audio master and a run of short-form clips.
- How many episodes can you record in a day?
- It depends on format and guest availability, but batching two to four episodes in one session is common — and it is the single biggest thing you can do to reduce cost per episode.
- Can you edit a podcast we've already recorded?
- Yes. Our post-production service covers editing, audio mixing, captions, graphics and short-form clips for footage filmed by someone else.
- Do you help with publishing?
- We can. On some series we deliver files ready for your team to upload; on others we handle the upload, titles, descriptions and thumbnails across YouTube and social.
