Cheshire set for podcasting boom as new studio opens doors

TMC Strategic Communications has unveiled its new, cutting-edge Cheshire podcast studio, designed to support North West businesses’ digital growth and inspire future talent as a true community asset.

The state-of-the-art facility, situated in the heart of Congleton, responds to the growing demand from regional businesses looking to enhance their digital presence without the hefty investment in equipment and technical expertise.

Located within The_Space, a co-working hub at TMC’s headquarters, the fully equipped studio provides a new resource for businesses, content creators, and influencers across Cheshire and the wider North West region.

Tim McCloud, CEO of TMC, said: “This is the latest addition to TMC’s expanding range of services, addressing a clear gap in the regional market. Many businesses recognise the growing importance of high-quality audio and video content but lack the facilities or technical expertise to produce it effectively. The podcast studio was conceived by our team to share our podcasting expertise while providing a valuable resource to the wider business community.

“Our aim was to create a space where creativity and cutting-edge technology come together, enabling clients to produce content of the highest standard. Ultimately, we want this studio to become a hub where businesses and creators can share their stories and amplify their impact.”

The studio has already gained recognition for its ability to help elevate creative projects. One of the first to utilise the space was estate agency Gascoigne Halman, which collaborates with TMC to film and produce its popular Instagram live series, Key Conversations.

Bekah Donovan, a producer who recently hosted a workshop on podcasting in the studio said: “The podcast facilities at TMC are genuinely brilliant – exactly what the local business community needs right now. As someone who’s seen countless podcast setups, TMC have got it spot on with professional equipment that won’t intimidate beginners but will still satisfy experienced podcasters.

“What’s impressive is how they’ve combined the technology with a welcoming environment that puts guests at ease. In an area where quality recording spaces are hard to come by, TMC has created something that removes all the technical barriers to podcasting, letting businesses focus on what matters: creating content that connects with their audience and builds their brand. I’m genuinely excited to see the conversations and connections that will come out of this studio.”

With flexible booking options, hands-on technical support and situated in a convenient location in the heart of Congleton High Street, TMC’s podcast studio is set to become one of the area’s leading creative resources.

TMC also intends to open the podcast studio to local schools, inspiring future talent and ensuring the space becomes a true community asset. This initiative complements TMC’s established Future Visionwork experience programme, which supports students local to Congleton.

The podcast studio strengthens TMC’s ongoing commitment to fostering a collaborative business environment. As an integral part of The_Space co-working community, the studio creates unique opportunities for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and businesses to connect, create professional content, and access TMC’s expertise all under one roof.
