Professional podcast production, from the first idea to the finished episode.

Thinking about starting a podcast? Already have one but need help making it sound more professional, consistent and easier to produce?

I provide professional podcast production for businesses, organisations, brands and individuals across Scotland and the wider UK, from the first idea to the finished episode.

Starting a podcast sounds simple. Buy a microphone, record something, upload it and become internationally famous by Thursday. Then you discover editing, audio levels, hosting, distribution, artwork, episode descriptions, intros, outros and the small matter of what you’re actually going to talk about.

That’s where I can help.

I offer flexible support covering podcast planning, recording, editing, production and publishing, whether you’re launching something new or need help improving an existing show.

And with more than 25 years’ experience in marketing, branding and communications, I don’t just think about how your podcast sounds. I think about what it needs to achieve.

Need help launching, producing or improving your podcast? Get in touch to discuss your project and the level of production support you need.

Hello, I'm Sean Makin

I’ve been involved in podcasting and digital audio for many years, producing programmes covering everything from outdoor adventure and Scottish history to festivals, business and marketing.

Podcasts I have produced include:

The Sumo Survival Podcast: A podcast exploring outdoor adventure, survival, equipment and the people behind the outdoor community. The podcast won many awards over the 3 years it ran.

The Walk Fife Podcast: Created as part of the Walk Fife community, the podcast extended the project beyond the website and social channels, providing another way to share stories, advice and experiences from Scotland’s walking community. The Walk Fife Podcast grew to more than 4,500 regular listeners, demonstrating how podcasting can become an important part of a wider community and content strategy.

Haunted Edinburgh: Audio storytelling exploring the darker, stranger and occasionally rather unsettling side of Scotland’s capital. The podcast closed in 2020 after 4 years.

The Wickerman Festival Podcast: Podcast content produced around the Wickerman Festival, using audio to extend the festival experience and give audiences another way to engage with the event.

The Overthinker’s Guide to Modern Marketing: My ongoing podcast exploring marketing, brands, consumer behaviour and the frequently unnecessary complexity surrounding modern marketing. It combines commentary, storytelling and practical marketing thinking in an accessible audio format. Listen Now

Marketing, Properly!: Produced for Makin Marketing, Marketing, Properly! is a practical business and marketing podcast aimed at business owners, founders and managing directors. It demonstrates how a podcast can become part of a broader content marketing strategy, creating material that can also support website content, social media, thought leadership and brand building.

More Than Audio Production

With more than 25 years’ experience across marketing, branding, design and communications, I can help make your podcast part of your wider marketing strategy rather than treating it as an isolated piece of content.

A single conversation can become a podcast episode, website article, LinkedIn content, social posts, video clips and thought leadership, helping you get more value from every recording.

For businesses in technical, specialist or knowledge-led sectors, podcasting is also an effective way to demonstrate expertise, explore ideas in greater depth and introduce the people behind the business.

Most importantly, it gives your business a human voice, something increasingly valuable in a world of automated content.

Flexible Podcast Production

Whether you’re starting a new podcast or need help with an existing one, I can provide as much or as little support as you need.

If you’re starting from scratch, I can help develop the concept, audience, format, episode structure and production process, making sure you create something that’s not only interesting, but realistic to produce consistently.

If you already have a podcast, I can take care of editing, production and publishing, or review what you’re doing and identify opportunities to improve the audio, structure, positioning and supporting content.

You might need help launching a podcast, ongoing production for every episode, or simply someone to turn your raw recordings into polished, publishable audio.

As a freelance podcast producer, I work directly with clients to provide experienced, practical support without the complexity or overhead of a large production agency.

Let's Make Something Worth Listening To

If you’re thinking about launching a podcast for your business, organisation or project, or you already have a podcast that needs professional production support, I’d be happy to have a conversation.

We can discuss what you’re trying to achieve, the audience you want to reach and the level of production support you actually need.

No complicated packages. No unnecessary jargon.

Just a good idea, professionally produced.

Get in touch with Makin Marketing to discuss your podcast.
