For 20 years we worked at the BBC – creating features, pushing the boundaries of drama or travelling the world recording music – and it is this solid bedrock of editorial, creative and cultural experience that underpins the work we do today.
We have developed major podcast projects with institutions such as Serpentine Galleries and Somerset House, that have included live events, live broadcast and podcast content. We’ve developed a podcast concept with Frieze magazine, we’ve won awards for our Rough Guides podcast, and we’re developing an exciting new podcast series, with the Afropean journal.
On top of this, we’re recording documentaries around the UK and globally, in Lagos, Mexico, Moscow, Azerbaijan, and Miami, partnering with Google to explore new technologies in the Voice realm, and have a history of recording music on location around the world. We’re also excited to be founder members of the Multitrack initiative addressing diversity within the radio industry.
We still make some of the BBC’s most culturally engaged programming, from the landmark “New Ways of Seeing” to the genre-defying music show “Late Junction” and through our journalism, we’re constantly looking to shine a light on untold stories.
