A podcast studio
nine minutes
down the line
from Sale
Sale, Brooklands and Dane Road are all on the Altrincham Metrolink line, and trams run every six minutes in the day. Multi-camera 4K, broadcast audio and the full edit, from £198.
The closest proper studio
to Sale, by some distance
We looked, and we could not find a dedicated podcast or recording studio anywhere in M33. Sale has the audience, the independents around Stanley Square and a genuinely busy arts centre at the Waterside. What it does not have is a room to record in.
The nearest one is ours, four or five miles straight down the A56 in Bowdon. That is ten to fifteen minutes in the car, or nine minutes on the tram to Altrincham and a short taxi up the hill.
Bring nothing. Book two hours, turn up, and talk. Three cameras, broadcast microphones and lighting are already set. A videographer and a sound technician stay in the room with you for the whole session, and the finished edit comes back inside three working days.
Not sure yet whether a podcast is the right move? Take fifteen free minutes and we will tell you honestly. If you want to plan properly, that is consultancy at £99 an hour.
Why Sale people
keep coming back
Being nearby only matters if the room is worth arriving at. Here is what is actually in it.
Nine minutes on the tram
Sale, Brooklands and Dane Road all sit on the Altrincham line, with trams every six minutes through the day. You can genuinely leave the car at home.
You can actually park
If you do drive, parking is free and on site, right by the door. Straight down Washway Road and up into Bowdon.
Three sets, one rate
Studio One, the White Studio and Studio Platinum, all the same price, and you can shoot across more than one in a longer booking.
The edit is included
Colour grade, angle cuts and audio clean-up are in the price, so you leave with an episode rather than a folder of footage.
It is quiet
Acoustically treated rooms on a farm site above Altrincham. No tram rumble, no Washway Road traffic, no neighbours.
Crew stay in the room
A videographer and a sound technician for the whole session. You concentrate on the conversation and nothing else.
Tram, or ten
minutes on the A56
By tram. Sale is on the Metrolink Altrincham line. Sale to Altrincham takes about nine minutes, with trams every six minutes Monday to Saturday daytime and every twelve in the evenings and at weekends. From Altrincham Interchange it is a short taxi to Bowdon.
Driving. Straight down the A56, Washway Road, through Altrincham and up into Bowdon. Four or five miles, ten to fifteen minutes in normal traffic.
Bus. The 263 runs Sale to Altrincham Interchange roughly every ten minutes, around eighteen minutes end to end.
Where else
people travel from
Most bookings come from a twenty mile ring around Bowdon. If your town is not listed, it is almost certainly still an easy run.
Altrincham, Manchester, Stockport and Wilmslow all have their own page. We also record regularly with people from Brooklands, Timperley, Stretford, Urmston, Chorlton, Trafford Park, Partington and Northenden.

Twenty minutes
from the Interchange,
on foot or by cab
Driving. Head south out of the town centre on the A56 towards Bowdon, then up to Priory Road. It is roughly a mile and a half. Free parking on site.
Tram and train. Altrincham Interchange is the terminus of the Metrolink Altrincham line and a stop on the Mid-Cheshire rail line. From the Interchange it is a short taxi ride, or a walk of about twenty five minutes if the weather is behaving.
Guests travelling in. If someone is coming from Manchester, tell them to get off at Altrincham. It is the easiest meeting point in the area and the last leg is a five minute cab.
