we make podcasts
Here's some of the great podcasts we make
SMERSH POD
Hosted by John Rain, Smersh Pod is the celebrated James Bond podcast for those who love, hate, or just aren't arsed by the films. With guests including Adam Buxton, Al Murray and Graham Lineman, Smersh Pod Series 2 starts in September.
RULE OF THREE
Britain's busiest comedy writers Joel Morris and Jason Hazeley sit down to talk about the comedy loved by today's biggest comedians. The critically acclaimed first series featured John Finnemore, Isy Suttie and Cariad Lloyd. Series 2 starts in September.
WRESTLE ME!
Made with our friends at Radio Stakhanov, Pete Donaldson and Marc Haynes take an eye-opening trip through 35 years of Wrestlemania. A hit with both grapple fans and non-fans alike, it's fast approaching half a million downloads.
LOVE ISLAND: THE MORNING AFTER
With our colleagues at Rubber Chicken, we executive produced a number of episodes of the smash hit TV show spinoff (and perennial podcast chart topper) for ITV.
THE THE ONE SHOW SHOW
Broadcaster and radio god Jon Holmes presents this hilarious podcast analysing the BBC's flagship The One Show - the one TV show that really doesn't deserve this type of analysis.
THE ALL-NEW ANGELOS AND BARRY PODCAST
Angelos Epithemiou and Barry from Watford are back in their all-new podcast – and awful news, they're almost exactly the same as before.
FRIENDS WITH FRIENDS
The One With The Guest Who Picks Their Favourite Episode. Grab a coffee in a massive china cup, settle down in your huge loft apartment and let Dave Cribb and Pete Allison guide you through the greatest sitcom of the 1990s.
ALWAYS THERE: THE HOWARD'S WAY PODCAST
The Howards' Way Podcast. Julia Raeside, TV writer for The Guardian, navigates through every episode of the 1980s seafaring soap opera, in order, with a special guest joining her each time.
THE FEAR
Comedy writer Sarah Morgan invites her favourite funny guests to bring in and unpack three things that give 'em the fear - a scary scene from film or TV, a childhood terror, and a fear or phobia they live with now.
ASK THE NINCOMPOOPS
An all-ages podcast where Andy Stanton (author of Mr Gum) and Carrie Quinlan (of Radio 4) answer questions set to them by children. Very badly.
DID YOU KNOW WE HAVE A CENTRAL LONDON RECORDING STUDIO?
THE GREAT BIG OWL RECORDING STUDIO
As part of our commitment to making podcasts, you can now hire the Great Big Owl podcast studio!
We offer unbeatable value for money for anyone looking to make a professional speech recording - from podcasts to show-reels to voiceovers and more!
At the moment, we charge a tiny £40 an hour for podcasters. That's it. No hidden charges. We want to help you make stuff, not make it impossible. We've not found anyone else that offers what we do for anything like that price.
OUR STUDIO IS IN CENTRAL LONDON
We're based right on top of Holborn Underground station. Served by the Piccadilly and Victoria underground lines, we're as central as you can get.
Our studio is based in a large office with a fully staffed reception, toilets and full tea and coffee making facilities.
WHAT DO WE HAVE IN OUR STUDIO?
We have everything you need to make professional sounding audio.
In our dedicated studio room, we have 4 professional standard Shure microphones which record directly into a multi-track FocusRite soundboard.
Our studio comes with sound isolation shields and soundproofing on the walls. By 2019, the studio will be fully soundproofed.
The studio can easily accommodate four people round the table, with plenty of room for additional producers or guests.
We supply your recording as separate mic tracks, but we can also provide fully mixed and sound-levelled MP3s for an additional cost.
There will always be a member of Great Big Owl with you for the duration of your record. We have an adjacent office, where we work quietly while the studio is in use, so if you have any technical problems, we're on hand to help.
WHO'S USED OUR STUDIO?
We make all our own podcasts in our studio, from RULE OF THREE to THE ALL NEW ANGELOS AND BARRY SHOW.
Since we've opened our studio to other podcasters, we've recorded episodes of THE BEEF AND DAIRY NETWORK, TOP FLIGHT TIME MACHINE and OLLY MANN'S THE MODERN MANN.
HOW CAN I HIRE THE STUDIO?
Please just drop us a line using the Contact Us button! We are very flexible with dates and times, meaning weekend and evening recording sessions are also often available.
