What's not to love? 

Podcasts put the world in your pocket…

… and making one looks simple. But with ever-expanding choice for time-poor listeners it takes deep professional expertise to reach your target audience

Our journalist producers work with every major BBC Radio network, The Sunday Times, The Guardian and multiple corporate, charitable and arts clients. We bring that vast bank of skills to every podcast we make

You know what you want to say and we understand how to weave content, structure and sound to draw your listeners in and keep them coming back for more.

How we work

Our production process is highly collaborative.

We work hand in hand with you to understand exactly who you are and what you want your podcasts to achieve. Every series we make has a dedicated production team with strong relevant experience and all the skills you’ll need

Working with all your stakeholders, we help you think effectively about purpose, audience, editorial direction, content, guests and identity. The decisions that flow from those conversations create the routemap for planning, recording and editing every single episode you go on to commission

We can support your chosen host every step of the way and wherever your guests are, record them in broadcast-quality sound in a studio or remotely

Already up and running?

You can retain us to take over the technical bits you don’t want to do yourself like recording and editing

Thinking about a series refresh?

We can workshop new ideas, approaches or sound design with you to reinvigorate your podcasts

Whatever you need

We work everywhere

Cost

We’re always happy to explore new projects

If you ask us to look more closely at your ideas we charge for consultancy by the day

The core team

Philippa Lamb

Philippa set up Podcastable in 2017 to bring together a small band of expert female broadcast journalists to make factual podcasts. A national journalist, she spent 12 years with the BBC presenting live business news and analysis for Radio 4, 5Live and The World Service

Right now she hosts Behind The Numbers, the ICEAW’s business and accountancy podcast, as well as PensionBee’s double Lovie-award winning personal finance consumer monthly.

A lifelong bookworm, Philippa launched The Slightly Foxed Podcast for the Slightly Foxed literary magazine in 2018 and helped grow it into a 2023 Global Top 8 Critics Choice, an Evening Standard Top 10 and a 2023 Radio Times Podcast of the Week.

Her first podcasting job was co-creating - with producer Lucy Greenwell - the world’s first podcast about people management. Launched in 2006, the CIPD’s series spawned multiple rivals and grew into Europe’s biggest and a US Top Ten in its field by the time they left it a decade later.

An expert executive producer and editorial advisor, Lynne specialised in original journalism for flagships like BBC Radio’s File on 4, 5Live Investigates and BBC1’s Panorama.  She's also managed complex undercover investigations for BBC News often featuring on The 10 O’Clock News

Among her side projects, Lynne co-founded Macclesfield Barnaby Festival, has been a TEDx organiser and is a member of the Institute of Place Management. 

Lucy Greenwell

Lucy is a highly experienced radio, podcast and virtual reality producer. Having made the global hit The Butterfly Effect for Audible, she worked with the launch team for The Guardian's Today in Focus daily podcast

Now Lucy’s producing the PensionBee series and working with The Guardian on the hugely successful Comfort Eating podcast with Grace Dent. Her documentaries and features for all the national BBC radio networks and The World Service cover everything from prostitution to pollution and pay transparency.  She also produced the long-running and multi award-winning Jon Ronson On... for BBC Radio 4

Her earlier programmes for The Guardian have been Sony nominated and she's a former judge for the British Podcast Awards
