About MIC media

We’re not your average podcast agency.

At MIC, we blend broadcast-quality podcasting with a passion for social good. We’ve trained thousands, produced award-winning shows, and helped brilliant people turn ideas into audio that matters.

Powered by People Backed By Purpose

We’re a friendly, straight-talking podcast agency based in the North of England, helping good eggs make brilliant audio.

MIC media isn’t just about slick production (though we do that too). We care about the stories being told and who gets to tell them. That’s why we work with organisations and businesses who live and breathe social impact, from local charities and councils to universities, household-name brands, and global NGOs.

We’re award-winning, industry-recognised, and trusted by clients big and small. Whether it’s your first episode or your fiftieth, we give you the tools, training, and confidence to make podcasts that matter.

OUR STORY

Doing Podcasting Differently Since day one

MIC media was born on a living room floor in Manchester in 2019, with a laptop, a brew and a big idea.

After a redundancy and a serious case of what am I doing with my life?, Vic Elizabeth Turnbull took the leap. With over a decade of experience in the social impact sector and a background in audio, she saw podcasting on the rise.

Vic spotted an opportunity.

She knew charities, social enterprises, grassroots groups and purpose-led businesses could also use podcasting to amplify underheard voices, boost missions and show their impact. And do it with professional, high-quality audio that could hold its own against the biggest shows out there.

That’s where MIC came in.

With support in the early days from the School for Social Entrepreneurs, Co-op Foundation, Luminate, The Federation and Flourish Together CIC, MIC launched as a social enterprise from the start. Making a difference was never optional.

Since then, we’ve launched over 55 podcasts, trained thousands of people and worked with more than 125 brilliant clients — from tiny CICs to household names like Oxfam, Amnesty and Co-op.

And we’re still fuelled by the same thing: helping good eggs tell great stories through powerful, purposeful, properly made podcasting.

Who We Work With

We work with businesses, organisations and individuals who want to make a difference through podcasting.

We help you grow your impact, build trust, reach new audiences, and share best practice across your sector.

Our clients include:

Value-led businesses
NGOs and charities
CICs and social enterprises
Public sector (local and national government)
Campaigns, projects and collectives
Education (schools, colleges, universities)
Business and start-up support organisations
Freelancers and entrepreneurs

Most importantly, we build confidence in people who’ve never held a mic before. Our approach is informal and jargon-free, creating a safe space to learn without fear or judgment.

The result? Folks who might never have tried podcasting or media production not only give it a go, they have fun doing it.

And we’re properly proud of that.
