Unlimited Possibilities

Welcome to The Studio

Experience professional virtual production technology that transforms your podcast from ordinary to extraordinary.
This is a studio where your content gets the visual impact it deserves.

The North East's First TV Studio for Podcasting

There's nothing like this, and you need to be part of it!
Traditional studios can lock you into one look. We give you any environment imaginable. Howell Studios combines state-of-the-art virtual video production with broadcast-quality audio – so your podcast stands out in a crowded space.

Our Virtual Production Technology

Why settle for a static studio backdrop?

Our professional virtual production technology - the same systems used by the BBC and Netflix - gives your podcast unlimited background possibilities. From branded corporate environments to creative themed sets, we'll create the perfect visual identity for your show.

Professional Green Screen Setup

We use broadcast-quality green screen technology and Ultimatte systems - the same equipment trusted by major broadcasters worldwide. Our studio features professional lighting designed specifically for clean, crisp keying.

Custom Background Design

Share your brand guidelines, and we'll create custom hyper-real environments that match your identity perfectly. Choose from our extensive catalogue, or we'll design bespoke backgrounds exclusively for you. Make it yours from day one!

Real-Time Compositing

During recording, we composite your footage in real-time using professional-grade software. What you see on the screen is exactly what your audience will see, even if you can't see what's behind you - no surprises, complete creative control.

Multi-Camera Production

Three BlackMagic 6K Pro cameras capture every angle, giving your podcast a dynamic, professional TV-studio aesthetic. We switch between shots seamlessly during recording for maximum visual engagement.

Broadcast Quality Output

Your finished episode is delivered in stunning 4K resolution with cinema-grade colour grading and audio mixing. The result? Content that looks like it belongs on Netflix, not just your podcast feed.

What Makes Our Studio Unique?

Visual Flexibility

Green screen with broadcast-quality technology for any podcast studio backdrop you can imagine. You can even customise your space however you like! No other podcast studio in the North East offers podcasting like we do.

TV-Studio Aesthetic

Take your content to the next level by placing your brand and your voice in settings used by the BBC, YouTube, Netflix, and Disney. Professional production values that make your podcast stand out instantly.

Full Service Podcasts

We provide studio access, coaching, podcast management, and distribution - as well as an optional concierge service for you and your guests. Everything you need under one roof, managed by one expert team.
