Who's our podcast training for?
Our podcast training is designed for organisations, teams and communities who want to build their podcasting skills and confidence. We work with charities, universities and researchers, public sector teams, businesses, social enterprises and community organisations.
Training is tailored around your people and what they need, whether they’re complete beginners or already have some podcasting experience.
We’ve worked with a huge range of Good Eggs, from internal comms teams, HR and programme delivery staff to young activists, entrepreneurs, over-50s community reporters, school kids and researchers.
Whoever you are, we can help you get to grips with podcasting.
What do you want to learn about?
We can guide your team through the whole podcasting journey, or help you dive into the bits you want to get better at.
How to start a podcast
Our flagship training covers it all. We’ll guide you from nailing your idea and planning your format, to choosing kit, recording, editing, and publishing your podcast on all the big platforms.
Podcast Planning & Production
Turn your podcast idea into a plan you can actually make happen. We’ll cover formats, structure, workflows, equipment and what it takes to get your podcast made and out there.
Interview & Storytelling skills
We call this “getting good at conversation”. Learn how to book great guests, ask the right questions, build rapport and draw out rich, meaningful stories for your show.
Recording great quality audio
Don’t let dodgy sound turn off your audience. We’ll teach you how to record in-person or remotely and simple techniques to capture top audio.
Editing your podcast
Make your podcast sound polished and professional. We’ll show you how to use editing software and guide you on what to cut or keep.
Something else?
Got a specific audio challenge or niche training need? We’ve probably seen (and solved) it. Drop us a line — we love a bespoke session.
MIC’s Podcast Training is the perfect starting point for anyone who’s keen to launch a podcast but doesn’t know where to begin. Amnesty International UK’s Youth Collective had this training and are now equipped with a structure to take them through the steps needed for launching their podcast.
The training provided guidance on all things from equipment needed to editing episodes and marketing – we’d highly recommended it!

Our Podcast training clients say it Best
It was a pleasure to work with MIC to deliver podcast training for our researchers. They really took the time to understand our needs and how the training would sit alongside our existing comms work. The content was excellent, and MIC brought real encouragement to academics who were new to podcasting.
They demonstrated a clear understanding of academia and the different perspectives each researcher brought. We’d have no hesitation recommending MIC to anyone wanting to learn more about podcasting — and we hope to work with them again.
Alice Neeson
I feel incredibly privileged to have been able to attend a MIC media podcast workshop. I started from knowing virtually nothing about podcasts and ended with comprehensive knowledge and confidence to start and produce a podcast.
They were so approachable, relatable and answered all my questions. Their feedback was second to none and I would highly recommend to anyone who has had the thought of starting a podcast cross their mind to attend a MIC media Podcast Workshop. You will not regret it!
Workshop participant
Thank you again for the amazing podcast training! Since doing that we’ve launched our school podcast on Spotify! The student podcasting team have taken full ownership, from branding and intro/outro audio to planning upcoming episodes.
It’s a real testament to their eagerness, they met after school on a Friday to keep the momentum going! Your training gave us the skills and confidence to run our own podcast clubs in school. It’s been amazing to see the students so inspired, engaged and ready to tell their own stories.
Mr L Wright
MIC made podcasting feel achievable for our over 50s community reporters, going from zero knowledge to real confidence. Their delivery was thoughtful, inclusive, and removed any fear around tech or ability. The team built genuine trust and excitement within just a couple of hours.
We’ve never had a trainer tailor a session so well to our group’s needs. That level of care, expertise, and rapport-building genuinely set MIC apart. It wasn’t just a workshop, it was empowering.
