Record podcasts in Near FM studios

If you are interested in developing a podcast with us either as an organisation or individual, please see below for more details.

For Organisations – At Near FM we understand that in the community, charity, and voluntary sectors, it’s essential to share your mission, impact, and stories in a way that resonates with both stakeholders and the wider public. A podcast offers a unique and engaging platform to do just that.

Since 2016, we’ve been helping organizations develop and produce podcasts in our state-of-the-art studios. Our approach is simple: we take care of the entire process for you. From helping you develop ideas, managing production and post-production, to getting your podcast out on major platforms like Spotify and Apple via RSS population, we’re with you every step of the way. Plus, your podcast gets additional promotion through Near FM radio, broadening its reach.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with many impactful organizations, both local and national, such as The Wheel, The Irish Foster Care Association (IFCA), The Goethe Institute, and AONTAS, to name a few. Our podcasts are hosted on Nearcast and available on all major platforms.

Interested in creating your own podcast series? We’d love to chat! Fill in the form below and you can check out some of our previous podcasts here.

What people are saying:
“A hugely impressive series highlighting the roles of foster carers. The involvement of the Irish Foster Care Association and the sensitivity of the interviews, as well as the technical quality, make this a superior show.” – Community Radio Awards 2023, Gold award for Best Podcast – Stories from Foster Care
