Who this room is for
Independent creators, editorial teams, marketing departments and schools that want a podcast recorded without building a mobile rig. The table suits two to 4 people at once; larger panels need planning, sometimes with rotating guests per block.
You do not need broadcast experience. We explain how to stay on the grille, avoid talking over each other and where to place scripts. Minimum age for participants is 16; younger guests only with prior consent from a parent or guardian.
How a recording day runs
Book through contact or email [email protected]. At Kinkerstraat 312 in Amsterdam we welcome you Mon–Fri 9:30–18:30, Sat 12–16 (by appointment); Saturday by appointment only. The studio is on Kinkerstraat in Oud-West, within walking distance of Erasmuspark. Trams 7 and 17 serve the Kinkerstraat stop; from there it is about a three-minute walk. You can use the bike racks along Kinkerstraat. Allow an extra fifteen minutes on a first visit so everyone can settle.
After the sound check recording starts. The engineer sits in the control room, not at the table, so you keep eye contact with guests. Between takes they log timestamps for later edits. Need another pass? Fine, as long as time remains in your booking.
What to prepare
Bring a question list or outline, including intro and outro copy. Send rough notes at least a day ahead if you want us to skim them. Avoid noisy jewellery or rustling coats when you sit close to the capsule.
- Outline or script (digital or print)
- Reference for desired tone (not too harsh, not too dull)
- Logo or jingle as a file, not played from a phone speaker at the table
- Your own headphones are welcome if the connector fits
Parts of our recording day checklist apply to podcasters too, especially travel time and voice rest.
Sound and microphones
We use dynamic microphones on boom arms per seat, suited to close conversational seating. The engineer sets gain so quiet and loud speakers fit one episode without constant riding. Light gating only when necessary; placement beats heavy repair.
Want to compare two setups? The microphone guide explains when another capsule makes sense. In the room we decide together without slowing your format.
Delivery, formats and turnaround
Default delivery is 24-bit WAV per stem plus a stereo mixdown for listening. File names include episode and speaker role. We do not master MP3s for publishing by default; your host or a mixing step can handle broadcast loudness if needed.
Basic edit means trimming long silences and clean start/end points, not narrative restructuring. Full episode assembly with music and ad slots is outside Podcast recording and quoted separately. Files arrive via secure link within a few business days unless we agree otherwise.

Revisions, editing and exclusions
Basic edit includes up to 2 feedback rounds on timing and technical glitches, not on rewriting content. Want us to build a full episode with music and ads? That is a separate project; discuss via contact beforehand.
Not included: transcription, translation, Spotify or Apple hosting, commercial music licensing, travel for location work outside Amsterdam, and extra studio days for heavy editing. Commercial voice-over for trailers in the same visit falls under voice-over as its own service.
Team and contact
Podcast sessions are often led by Noor Vermeer (vocal producer and podcast engineer) or by Thijs Bakker as lead engineer. Jasper Meijer supports when episodes move straight into mixing or mastering for a consistent release.
