What's not to love?
Podcasts put the whole world in your pocket…
… and making one looks simple. In reality it takes deep professional expertise to really land with your target audience
Our network of journalists and producers has worked with every major BBC Radio network, The Sunday Times, The Guardian and multiple corporate, charitable and arts clients. We bring that vast bank of skills to every podcast we make
You know what you want to say to your audience and we understand how to weave structure, content and sound to draw your listeners in and hold their attention
How we work
Our production process is highly collaborative. We’ll work hand in hand with you to understand exactly who you are and what you want your podcasts to achieve
Once commissioned, we’ll dedicate a producer to your series and build a production team with strong relevant experience and all the skills you’ll need
Working with all your stakeholders, we’ll help you think effectively about audience, purpose, content, guests and identity. The decisions that flow from those conversations create the routemap for planning, recording and editing every episode you go on to commission
We’ll support your chosen host every step of the way and wherever your guests are, we can record them in broadcast-quality sound either in a studio or remotely
Already up and running?
You can retain us to take over the technical bits you don’t want to do yourself like recording and editing

Two silver medals at The Lovies 2023: Best Series and Best Branded Podcast for our Pension Confident Podcast with PensionBee
The core team
philippa lamb
Philippa started making podcasts 15 years ago and set up Podcastable in 2017 to bring together a small band of world-class female producers and their collective network to work in this fast-growing sector
As a national journalist she spent 12 years at the BBC presenting live business news and analysis programmes for Radio 4, 5Live and The World Service
A lifelong bookworm, Philippa launched The Slightly Foxed Podcast for the Slightly Foxed literary quarterly in 2018 and grew it into a 2023 Global Top 8 Critics Choice, an Evening Standard Top 10 and a 2023 Radio Times Podcast of the Week. Now the series is approaching three quarters of a million listens and punching way above its weight internationally in the hugely competitive literary podcast sector.
Thanks to her roots in financial journalism she also hosts both of ICEAW’s business and accountancy series as well as PensionBee’s 2023 double Lovie-award winning personal finance monthly.
Her first podcasting job was co-creating - with Lucy Greenwell - and presenting a world first podcast about people management for The CIPD. By the time they left the series it was up against dozens of rival in the same field worldwide and had grown into Europe’s biggest and a US Top Ten in its field.

She also produced the long-running and multi award-winning Jon Ronson On... for BBC Radio 4
