Every podcast studio hire session at Outset includes the full use of a professionally equipped, acoustically treated recording room. You’ll have access to broadcast-quality condenser microphones, monitoring headphones for every guest, a mixing desk, and all necessary cabling and stands.

For video podcast studio sessions, each studio is set up with multiple 4K cameras on fixed mounts, professional LED lighting rigs, and a dedicated production area for monitoring your recording in real time.

A studio walkthrough is included with every booking. Optional add-ons include a videographer, sound engineer, edited audio and video files, social media clips, and teleprompter hire.

Podcast studio hire at Outset starts from £84 per hour for audio-only sessions. Video podcast studio sessions, which include 4K camera recording, full lighting and production monitoring, start from £108 per hour. Full production sessions with an Outset videographer or sound engineer are also available and priced on request.

All rates are transparent with no hidden setup fees or equipment surcharges. We recommend checking our live availability calendar for current pricing across our London Bridge, Shoreditch, and Manchester Northern Quarter studios.

No experience is required. Our podcast recording studios are designed to be accessible to first time podcasters and experienced producers alike.

Every session begins with a full walkthrough of the studio equipment, including microphones, headphones, recording levels and camera framing for video sessions. For clients who want more hands on support, we offer the option to add a sound engineer or videographer to your booking.

If you are unsure which podcast studio setup is right for you, our team is happy to talk through your requirements before you book.

An audio podcast studio session gives you access to our acoustically treated recording room, broadcast microphones, headphones and mixing desk. It is ideal for audio only podcasts, interviews and spoken word content.

A video podcast studio session adds a full camera setup, typically with two to four 4K cameras on fixed angles, alongside professional LED lighting and a production monitor. This is the right choice for video podcasts on YouTube, LinkedIn or social media, or if you want to repurpose your session into short form clips.

Both setups are available across our London and Manchester studios.

Outset Studio has podcast recording studios in two cities.

London: our flagship studio is in London Bridge, SE1, located seven minutes from London Bridge station and close to Borough Market and the Shard. We also have a second London studio in Shoreditch in Hoxton, which is ideal for branded content and smaller productions.

Manchester: our podcast studio is located in the Northern Quarter, seven minutes from Manchester Piccadilly station. Both locations are available seven days a week.

Yes. Outset Studio offers both video podcast studio hire and post-production editing from the same team, so your raw footage never needs to leave our workflow.

After your session, our editors can produce a fully edited video podcast episode, short-form social clips (vertical and horizontal), audiograms, and transcript-based captions. We also offer live editing for faster turnaround on multi-camera productions.

If you want to include editing, we recommend discussing your requirements before your booking.  

Popular slots at our London Bridge and Manchester podcasting studios often book out several weeks in advance, particularly mornings and weekday sessions. We recommend booking as early as possible.

Last minute podcast studio hire is sometimes available, particularly for late afternoon and evening slots, or at our Shoreditch studio. For regular bookings, including weekly or fortnightly sessions, we can arrange a recurring slot. Cancellations and rescheduling are subject to our standard booking policy.

Our podcast recording and video podcast studios are used by a wide range of clients, from individual creators recording their first episode to in house teams at established brands and agencies managing high volume content production.

Regular clients include independent podcasters, journalists, authors, coaches and public speakers. We also work with marketing teams using podcast and video content as part of their wider strategy, as well as agencies who need a reliable studio for client productions, with the option to bring their own crew or use our in house team.
