Podcast & Recording Studio 2

Every booking includes podcast‑ready audio and multi‑camera 4K video, with lighting and framing already dialled in when you arrive. It’s ideal for conversational podcasts, coaching and “talking head” content, plus short‑form clips or TikTok Shop‑style product demos where an approachable, informal environment works best

Lifestyle and wellness podcasts (up to 3 people)
Coaching, education and direct‑to‑camera content
TikTok / Reels and TikTok Shop style product demos in a homely setting
Founders and creators who want an approachable, stylish look without a heavy studio feel.
