Podcast room

A professional, purpose-built space for podcasts and recorded conversations

Our dedicated podcast room at Holywell Park is fully equipped and ready to use, offering a calm, professional environment for high-quality audio and video recording.

Whether you’re producing a podcast series, recording thought leadership content, or hosting a panel discussion, the space has been designed to make recording simple, intuitive and stress-free.

Everything is in place – just press record

The podcast room is fully set up with the following equipment as standard:

  • Dual-camera setup
    Two professionally positioned cameras: one for close-up shots and one wide-angle. Both cameras can be controlled during your session to create a polished, multi-angle result.
  • Integrated audio and video system
    Cameras and microphones feed directly into a RØDECaster Video S, delivering broadcast-quality audio and video with minimal setup required.
  • Flexible recording outputs
    USB-C output allows recording directly to:
    • Your own laptop, or
    • An external SSD for full ISO recording
  • Microphone options
    • Lapel microphones for clean, discreet audio
    • Table-top microphones for seated discussions
    • Floor-standing microphones coming soon for additional flexibility

The room is designed to be easy to use, with support available if required, allowing you to focus on the conversation rather than the technology.
