Bespoke podcasts for researchers

Podcasting is an increasingly important tool for researchers both in the academic world and beyond to communicate their findings.

A well-made podcast is accessible, engaging and informative, allowing you to easily share your research both with your colleagues and with a wider public audience. But as researchers, we don’t always have the right skills—or, more importantly, the time—to produce our own podcasts.

Drawing on over 10 years of experience in academia, and half a decade in podcasting and journalism, I work with researchers to develop a bespoke audio strategy that suits their needs and their budgets.

For some, that may be a one-off episode that gives you the opportunity to summarise a recent project. Others may be looking for a longer, more complex project that pulls together multiple different voices, weaving the story of your research over multiple episodes.

Whether you’re thinking of including a podcast in your next project, you have some exciting findings you’re keen to get out there, or you’re looking to get the best value just have some leftover funds from your last grant you’re looking to use before the end of the project, get in touch. I’d love to work with you to share your important research with the rest of the world.

What I can offer

I offer a wide range of services to support you to communicate your research, from turning your findings into a podcast, to helping you build audio into your next grant application or proposal. In particular, I can work with you on:

  • Podcasts: one-off episodes, multi-episode series, or longer-term departmental and institutional showcases

  • Advice and support: help with developing funding applications, providing recording advice, and developing an audio strategy for your research.

  • Something else: if you have an idea you don’t see here, let’s talk and see what we can create together!

  • "Olivia was able to take an academic project and turn it into something with much wider and deeper impact for a more general audience. Working with her has helped me to push the boundaries of my own research."

    —Christopher Gerrard, Professor of Archaeology at Durham University and leader of project ‘Hefted! Upland Farming Heritage in the Cheviots’

  • "Olivia has been fantastic to work with and used her knowledge of farming and agriculture to draw down a narrative from a large amount of recorded audio. In doing so, Olivia gave the project shape and direction, which helped inform my own work area within the project. The podcast has been well received in the local community and is being used to inspire positive discussion around the future of farming in the region."
