Video podcast production
Video podcast production in London, providing professional filming, sound, and editing for branded conversations and content marketing
There’s something about a podcast that cuts through the noise. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t pitch. It simply sits with you - like a conversation you weren’t invited to, but can’t stop listening to.
And then comes the video.
Suddenly, it’s not just about what’s said - it’s about how it’s said. You see the pause before someone answers. You catch a look exchanged between hosts. You watch a laugh land. Video adds a layer of human texture that audio alone can’t offer. That’s why video podcast production has shifted from “nice-to-have” into something much more central.
For businesses, personal brands, and teams trying to build real trust - it’s no longer a trend. It’s a strategy.

What is video podcast production, really?
At its core, video podcasting still follows a familiar format - longform conversation, expert interviews, commentary, or debate. But it’s not just an audio file with a camera pointed at it. A proper video podcast is made with intention.
This isn’t about turning your podcast into a TV show. It’s not about gimmicks or overproduced sets. It’s about thoughtful execution - where every visual and sound choice helps the message land more clearly. The sound needs to be crisp, not echoing off the walls of a kitchen. Lighting should bring warmth and shape to the frame, not wash your guest out or create harsh shadows. The framing itself needs to feel deliberate - more like a conversation you’re invited into than a frozen Zoom call.
That’s what makes video podcasting so versatile - it’s one shoot, but many uses. One conversation, but endless ways to share it.

- Visuals matter too. Whether it’s subtle cutaways, a multicam setup to show reactions, or pacing that keeps the viewer engaged - this kind of detail gives your content rhythm. And once it’s filmed, the episode doesn’t stop there. The final edit can be exported in different formats: a full-length video for YouTube or Spotify, short vertical clips for social media, or clean segments embedded into your site or even investor decks.

The mistake everyone makes
Here’s what we hear all the time:
"We’ve got a camera and two mics. How hard can it be?"
And to be fair, it’s not technically hard to hit record. But it’s easy to end up with a product that does your brand more harm than good.
We’ve seen it first-hand:

And to be fair, it’s not technically hard to hit record. But it’s easy to end up with a product that does your brand more harm than good.
We’ve seen it first-hand:
- Guests lit from overhead strip lights that cast harsh shadows
- Audio that sounds like it was recorded in a tiled bathroom
- Hosts out of focus for half the episode
- No plan for pacing, so the conversation rambles
- No edits, no intro, no exit point - just a raw file dumped online and called a day
What kind of clients use video podcasts (and why it works)
We’ve worked on video podcasts for all sorts of people - none of them trying to go viral.
They’re trying to be taken seriously. To build visibility over time. To connect without cold messaging.
- A tech founder duo we film every month, discussing trends and culture in their niche. From a single shoot, they get a full episode and 30 subtitled clips they drip-feed on LinkedIn. Their investor meetings doubled after three months of consistent posting.
- A nutritionist who wanted to show up for her audience regularly, not just sell to them. We filmed in her home office, styled for camera, and helped her launch a full content series.
- A legal advisory firm that turned their internal knowledge-sharing sessions into a polished external podcast - recruitment soared after it started circulating in industry Slack channels.
- A creative agency using their podcast to retain clients, build credibility, and show their team’s thinking in action.
For each, it wasn’t about chasing subscribers. It was about building trust at scale.
What it’s like filming with We Stream
We’re not a content agency that pushes you through a system. We’re a small, sharp production company that listens, adapts, and helps you figure out what the podcast actually needs to feel like you.
Some of our clients come to us after trying it themselves and feeling disappointed. The biggest feedback we hear:
“This finally feels like someone actually gets it.”
That’s because we don’t just film - we set tone, advise on structure, and keep an eye on the energy in the room. We help prep guests, test equipment, tweak lighting, guide shoot flow, and support you right through post.
We’ve filmed podcasts in co-working spaces, hotel suites, home studies, and conference breakout rooms. The set doesn’t have to be fancy - but it needs to feel right. And we know how to make even a boring white wall feel intimate and warm on camera.

What's included in our podcast production packages
Every podcast is different. Some need a quiet, two-person setup in a converted office. Others need a crew managing lighting, audio, guest logistics, and multiple camera angles across the day. We don’t do fixed templates - we build the setup around what you actually need.
That said, here’s a rough idea of what most of our clients go for:
For a single session, prices usually start around £1,500. That covers up to two hours of filming with a two-camera setup, full lighting and sound, a clean edit of the full episode, five subtitled short clips for social media, and a branded intro/outro to tie it all together.
For clients producing content consistently, our monthly packages often sit around £4,500. That includes four full episodes per month, 20 short clips in both vertical and horizontal formats, fully edited intros and outros, thumbnail graphics, subtitles, and everything delivered within five working days.
We also offer custom packages - whether that’s remote podcasting support, live streaming, filming with multiple guests, or recording across different locations. The gear, crew, and editing are always matched to your goals, not just to a price bracket.

Why it works for SEO, sales, and brand positioning
We’ve seen clients use podcast content in proposals, cold outreach, and sales meetings. We’ve seen snippets spark real conversations on LinkedIn. We’ve seen hiring teams use podcast clips to show off company culture.
Video podcasts work because they:
- Create hours of reusable content from one shoot
- Help you show your face and tone, not just your pitch
- Give Google rich media to index on your site
- Build a library of thought leadership that keeps compounding over time
And they’re cheaper than hiring a new marketing manager.
Final thoughts
Video podcast production isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about building something that lasts longer than a post or a press release.
If you’re ready to stop winging it - and start showing up with a voice, a face, and a point of view - we’d love to help.
Because in the end, podcasts don’t just build audiences.

- We recently worked with Cytec to produce a series of corporate videos that blended executive interviews with client testimonials to support a major product launch and internal reorganisation announcement. The project involved a full crew and a multi-camera setup across carefully scouted locations to match the tone of their brand. We filmed representatives from companies like Rolls-Royce, Aviva, and Currys, delivering clean, polished videos with fast turnaround. These videos became one of Cytech’s most effective internal comms tools, according to their team, and helped them align key messaging across departments during a high-stakes shift.
