How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Podcast Studio in the UK?

The short answer

UK podcast studio hire usually runs from a monthly membership to a per-hour booking, and London studios charge the most. At Your Video Team's studio in Tenterden, Kent, Studio Membership costs £100 to £300 a month, with 4K cameras and automatic camera switching included.

What you are actually paying for

A cheap hourly rate can hide extra costs. Before you book any studio, ask:

  • How many cameras are included, and are they 4K?

  • Is there someone to switch between cameras, or do you edit that yourself afterwards?

  • Are microphones, lighting and backdrops part of the price?

  • Do you leave with the files on the day?

  • Can you get help if you freeze on camera?

Hourly hire vs membership

Hourly hire suits a one-off recording. If you want to post every week, a membership works out cheaper and builds the habit. Most of our members book a regular slot, record several episodes in one go, and leave with a month of content.

What is included at our Tenterden studio

  • 4K cameras on every seat

  • An automated setup that cuts to whoever is speaking, so your video is close to finished when you walk out

  • Studio lighting and broadcast microphones

  • An easy drive from Ashford, Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells and Hastings

Do you need to be good on camera?

No. Ben has spent years directing nervous founders, and he started out training managers, so coaching is part of how we work. Most people relax within ten minutes.
