A museums, galleries podcast, produced well.

Collections hold more than the labels can say. A podcast lets curators and artists tell the stories behind the objects.

Why museums and culture start a podcast

Audio reaches people who will never visit and prepares those who will. It also lets a visitor listen inside the gallery.

What the show can cover

Formats that work for this sector:

  • A curator on one object and why it matters.
  • An artist on a work in progress.
  • History of the building and its collection.
  • Conservation: what happens behind the scenes.

What to settle before you record

Spoken accuracy and tone matter, and so does accessibility. Plan transcripts and clear audio that works in a gallery with headphones.

  • Curatorial review of facts.
  • Rights for any music or recorded archives.
  • Transcripts for access.

How radio.app produces it

You record; we make the podcast. For museums, galleries and cultural institutions that means cleaning and levelling every voice, building the intro and sound identity, editing to a script or notes, and delivering finished episodes to one loudness standard. The production process shows each step, and the plans show the starting points.

Questions

Questions, answered.

Can the same recording serve an audio guide?

It can start from the same material, but a guide is written for a place and a route. Tell us if you need both.

What do we need to send?

The original recordings, one file per person if possible, and short notes on names, terms and anything to cut. The [recording checklist](/podcast-production/how-to-record-a-podcast-remotely) explains how to capture clean audio.
