Clearly each podcast is different, and we love to work with new challenges and ideas and provide a way for you to engage more with your audience. As part of this we offer:
- Idea Development: planning, pre-production and scriptwriting.
- Sourcing: voices, actors, locations and experts.
- Coaching: for you and your staff if they are part of the podcast.
- Recording: the programme elements, in studio and on location.
- Crafting: compiling, editing and mixing the podcast.
- Mastering: optimizing for podcast delivery.
- Delivery: of the finished podcast to the web or download medium.
We provide everything needed - all the guidance, production skills and technical know-how (along with all our high-end BBC equipment), consulting with you constantly throughout the process.
We have broken many boundaries in the development of podcast production, developing new methods and best-practices. Our BBC broadcast experience enables us to bring efficiency and professionalism into the podcasting world.
Journalistic integrity and quality production skills make all the difference to a podcast, separating the professional production from the negative connotations of the 'did-it-myself' production.
With Monty Funk producing, your podcasts will sound unique because we really work with you to bring out your message in the most engaging ways possible.
As podcast production specialists we work with organizations of all sizes, from the BBC to large orchestras, and from corporations to very small companies, institutes, societies and festivals. Our podcast services represent an extremely cost effective solution for your communications.
Expertise & Technology
The equipment and expertise at our disposal is exemplary, and the quality of what we do for our clients is, of course, of the absolute highest standards. But the most important thing perhaps is our motto, often quoted at Monty Funk: 'The show must go on!' which means that we WILL get your ideas through the production stage for all to hear...
