Rent a podcast studio in Utrecht

A good podcast stands or falls on its content. But reverberation, noise or ambient sound can really ruin that content. Do you want to record a podcast professionally? In a space with high-quality microphones, the right acoustics and without disruptive outside noise? Then choose a professional podcast studio.

At Jaarbeurs Studio in Utrecht, we have the space, the equipment and the team to record your podcast professionally. Do you just need audio? That’s fine! Or would you like to turn it into a video podcast straight away? That’s possible too. You provide the conversation; we’ll help you with the rest.

Why record a podcast in a studio?

A good microphone and a laptop will get you a long way. But there is a difference between a decent recording and one that sounds professional. And the latter is a much more pleasant listen.

Renting a podcast studio in Utrecht

Are you recording a podcast with guests from different parts of the Netherlands? Then Utrecht is, of course, the most convenient option. Our studio is located in the Beatrix Building, right next to Utrecht Central Station. It’s just a short walk from the station to the studio. Are you coming by car? You can easily reach Jaarbeurs by car too . There are also plenty of parking spaces available .

Record and film a podcast

Video podcasts are becoming increasingly common. After all, why just listen when you can watch as well? If you record your podcast with cameras, you can distribute the episode via podcast platforms and also use it for YouTube, your website and social media, for example. What’s more, you can create different types of content from a single conversation. For example, create snippets for LinkedIn or Instagram to promote your podcast or expand your reach.

In our studio, you can create stunning recordings in a variety of settings. This allows you to tailor the look and feel of the recording to suit your podcast and organisation. There are dynamic backdrops and LED lighting in a range of colours. You can also choose between a presentation desk, a casual lounge area (for two speakers) or a talk show table.

Recording a podcast in a studio with several guests

An interview with a single guest? A conversation between colleagues? Or a podcast in which several experts engage in a discussion? At Jaarbeurs Studio, we can adapt the set-up to suit your format.

Think carefully in advance about the number of guests and how they will interact with one another. We can advise you on the placement of microphones and cameras. If you want several people to take turns speaking, you’ll also need to plan who speaks when. After all, you don’t want people talking over one another or disappearing from the frame. So make sure you draw up a clear script in advance. Our event managers and technicians will be happy to work with you to create a setup that suits your needs.

It’s particularly wise to allow plenty of time for this when producing a video podcast. A script helps you keep this under control and ensures you know in advance how much time each part will take.
