We couldn't have done it without them. They really get podcasting and what it takes to make a great audio/video product, they're supportive, they care, flexible, responsive.

Experience that shows
A team that takes your show as personally as you do
We’re an award-winning podcast production company. We’re producers, video editors, sound designers and strategists, most of us shaped by years in broadcasting. That’s where you learn what matters in this work: a good story, told well, reaching the person it was made for.
It’s also where the standards come from. Every detail gets the time it deserves. Every show gets a team chosen for it. That’s what we mean when we say most where podcasts are made – ours are built.
We’ve made podcasts for some of the biggest brands in the world.

Beyond a podcast production company
Ask our clients what it’s like to work with us and they rarely start with the audio. They talk about the people and what a full service podacst agency brings to the experience. Being listened to from the first conversation. Getting an honest answer instead of a sales-led one. A team that go above and beyond. Feeling like our team is an extension of theirs.
It’s why clients stay with us season after season, and why so many get in touch because of word-of-mouth. The work is deeply thoughtful, the relationships are straight-forward , and it all starts with a good conversation.

FAQs
A podcast production company plans, records, edits and launches branded podcasts on behalf of clients. At 18Sixty, that runs from concept and discovery workshop through to broadcast-ready audio, video, distribution and promotion, handled by one specialist team.
You don't, technically. But a podcast that looks and sounds right, keeps an audience and does something for your brand is a different job to hitting record. We bring the strategy, the craft and the experience that turn a good idea into a show people come back to.
It depends on scope - episode length, series size, whether video's involved, and importantly how deep our partnership goes which in turn determines how much strategy and promotion sit around production. We'll always price against your specific goals on a discovery call, not a one-size-fits-all rate card.
Podcasts build trust and help businesses prove their authority in a really authentic way. A podcast lets decision-makers hear how you think, not just what you sell, and that's harder to fake than a case study. Done well, it expands your reach with more of the people who matter, it's about earning the attention of the right few hundred people
Expect around 6-10 weeks from brief to first episode live for audio, that can be little longer though if we're developing a fresh video format. Working with us means you get access to our strategic thinking and experience from day one.
Not always, it all depends on the podcast we're building together. We can bring broadcast-grade kit to you, or get you in one of our partner studios, or if it calls for it, a remote setup, or even bespoke set. You bring the conversation, we bring everything else.
Yes. Multi-camera filming, cinematic lighting and a YouTube-ready edit are core to what we do, and most clients now run audio and video from a single recording.
Let’s talk
Wherever you're at – an idea, a half-finished show, or something that just needs to grow, there's a conversation worth having. Get in touch and we can talk about what’s possible.
