Why podcast?

Over the last five years, podcasts have become a major platform for communication, discussion and promotion of content across the globe.

We believe that to truly value the research being done on our behalf, we must be able to understand it, and it must be heard.

Our social media team will put your recording out to an audience of thousands from across academia, industry and the public, who are all interested in hearing about your work.

Our productions

Each podcast production is designed to provide an entry point to understanding your work for any non-specialist who wishes to find out more. A standalone podcast can highlight a specific point, while a podcast series offers the chance to break a topic down and tell your narrative to the audience.

All podcasts include professional postproduction treatment ensuring the best possible audio. We offer three different production tiers to fit your budget and outreach goals.

Benefits of podcasts

Podcasts can be used for a variety of different communication goals, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

Communicating a specific research paper(s)
Promoting a book
Raising awareness of a lab or department
Providing updates on longer-term and ongoing projects
Explaining a new concept or discovery
Accompanying other RPI services

Individual podcasts

Individual podcasts are the ideal platform to communicate a specific topic to a wider audience. If you are looking to publish or have just published a paper, a podcast will provide you with the perfect communication companion for broader dissemination.

Podcast series*

Selecting a podcast series allows you the unique opportunity of telling the story your research over three or more podcasts. Whether you want to break down several research papers (or multiple studies) into specific themes, a series allows you to identify key topics before diving into further detail for your audience. This gives listeners an in-depth understanding of your work and the wider research context.

By choosing to create a podcast series, you’ll also receive a 5% discount.

*A podcast series includes three episodes.
