Podcast production

Why podcasts?

Podcast as a strategic tool

A podcast is one of the few formats that leaves room for depth. That makes it particularly valuable for companies and organisations that work with complex issues, want to reason in depth and build trust over time.

‍

A podcast production with depth and perspective is also a good starting point for creating content for several channels over time.

‍

A podcast can be more than a side project. With the right strategy it becomes a tool for strengthening the brand, building relationships and creating content that lives longer.

The benefits of podcasts

Podcasts suit companies that want to own questions over time and take a clearer advisory role in their industry. They provide room for reasoning that rarely fits into shorter content.

01

Building expert status and thought leadership

When a CEO, specialist or other key person leads the podcast, it can become a natural place for conversations with customers, partners and other relevant profiles. This builds relationships and trust.

02

Educate your audience

Educate your audience by structuring the podcast like a school where each episode is a lesson. Give listeners the chance to learn something new on the way to work.

03

Create more content from the same production

A podcast can give more than just one episode. The conversation can be reused as articles, video clips, social posts and newsletters.

04

Reach employees

A podcast is an effective and accessible way to reach the whole organisation. One example is the Taxi podcast for Taxi Stockholm, developed by Tale's Johan Bratt.

How we can help you with podcast production

How we can help you with podcast production

Every podcast project is different, but the working process usually looks like this:

01

1. Strategy

We start with strategy. What do you want to achieve? Which questions do you want to drive? What role should the podcast play in your overall communication? We then develop a format that is clear, relevant and sustainable over time.

02

2. Format

What should the podcast sound like? We define the approach, tone, themes, episode structure and guest strategy. It could be a thought leadership podcast, internal panel discussions, in-depth interviews or a filmed format adapted for more channels.

3. Podcast production

We help you with the entire production: from planning, hosting and interview technique to recording, editing and packaging. The technology should work seamlessly, but it is the content, structure and quality of the conversation that decide whether the podcast becomes truly good.

04

4. Distribution

No podcast makes a difference if no one finds it. We therefore also plan how the content should be spread: via social media, articles, newsletters, paid advertising or through guests and networks that can give the episodes further reach.

01

04

05
Framgångsrika format för företagspoddar

Filmed podcast

An effective set-up for those who want to get more out of each recording. By filming all or part of the conversation, the podcast can also become shorter video clips for social media, YouTube or web.

How to succeed

Be long-term and patient

It is no coincidence that P3 Dokumentär is Sweden's largest podcast. The format was created over ten years ago. Expect it to take a season or 5–10 episodes before the audience starts to arrive.

Stay true to the podcast format

Once listeners have discovered and begun to appreciate a podcast, expectations arise. That is why it is important to be consistent in format, tone and content.

Focus on distribution

A podcast needs to be spread to find its audience. The content therefore needs to be packaged for digital channels and social media. Since many people scroll without sound, trailers and clips often need to be complemented with images, video and subtitles.

What does a podcast cost?

There are a few things that are especially important for companies to succeed with podcasts:

  • Preparation

    Research, booking guests and questions for the guest

  • Recording equipment:

    Studio hire or mobile recording technology

  • Post-production

    Editing and mixing

  • Publishing and distribution

    Publishing and distribution: The finished podcast file is uploaded to one of the platforms for podcasts. Social media and digital channels are used to drive listeners to your podcast.

Depending on how many elements are included, the cost per episode typically ranges between
SEK 9,000 – 45,000
