Studio GQ provides an acoustically treated space for podcasts, recorded interviews and other spoken-word formats. Plan the room around the number of speakers, the shape of the conversation and whether the production also needs to work on camera.

What this supports
How to plan it
Bring the references, working schedule and requirements early. The space and support can then be considered together.
A podcast setup should keep speakers comfortable while protecting clear microphone positions and useful camera angles. Tell the team how many people will be recorded and whether the session is audio-only or filmed so the requirements can be discussed together.
The studio supports both podcast conversations and recorded interviews. Audio resources and podcast equipment may be available, while the flexible space can accommodate visual content requirements around the discussion.
Equipment and support can vary by production. Include the intended format, speaker count, recording approach and any crew assistance in the enquiry so the team can confirm the available package.
