We help you to raise your podcast game, with broadcast quality recording, simple editing to tidy and tighten up the material, and post-production mixing, sound balancing and quality control.

Kirsten Dwight’s earliest memories of radio are the dits and dahs of Morse code. Her Dad occasionally volunteered to patch ham radio messages from Alaskans in remote communities through to their relatives. Local and National Public Radio was a lifeline connecting her childhood home in Alaska to the wider world—so working in radio seemed a natural choice. Kirsten started in radio as a freelance factual Researcher, then latterly Producer, making award-winning (Sandford St Martin, Radio 4's Pick of the Year) documentaries for BBC Radio 4 and the World Service. A passionate advocate of open education, she became Associate Lecturer in Humanities, The Open University (OU). and represented the OU in its BBC partnership, co-commissioning award-winning (Mind Mental Health; Learning On Screen ) BBC television documentaries on Health and Social Care. She created accompanying digital resources for OU learning platforms and degree curricula. Leading the OU’s activities within the British Council's partnership Belief in Dialogue project, she created digital resources on Science, Modernity and Belief,.Together with British Council partners, she co-convened and facilitated an impactful online intercultural dialogue between students at Al Azhar University (Cairo) and the OU (UK & Europe). In recent years she has provided Quality Assurance for assessment processes ,for Humanities, Lifelong Learning, Prifysgol Aberystwyth / Aberystwyth University.
