Podcast fans from all around - come and nerd out about podcasts and discover new shows along the way!
On Podcast Book Club - a different group of podcast industry pros sit down each week to pour over an episode of a show they admire.
We're a group of podcasting professionals who spend every day scripting, producing, engineering, and promoting podcasts. And in our free time? We’re podcast fans just like you. We love to listen to even more podcasts and figure out what makes the best podcasts so good.
So tune in and join the club - listen to podcast reviews of some of our favorite gems. We’ll give feedback on podcast content but also sound design, production, scripting, storytelling, and more.

Podcast Book Club is produced by Alex Bennett, Head of Post Production at Lower Street. Alex is a domesticated audio nerd, who has spent the past five years learning about human social conventions via the medium of podcasting. From Edinburgh, Scotland he is an audio engineer that helps produce audio dramas in his spare time. Alex specialises in soundscapes and creative mixing. He has a deep and abiding love for sandwiches, and is the 2nd worst bowler at Lower Street.

We’ve worked with companies like BCG to develop multiple podcasts like Climate Vision 2050, BCG Compliance, BCG Fintech Files, and BCG In Her Element.

[Inception Horn]
Narrator: In a world drowning in podcasts
[a mass of chattering podcasters rises to a crescendo, followed by another Inception horn]
Narrator: A specially selected team is on a mission to find the best. And bring their powers of analysis to bear.
[intense drums rise to a crescendo and then stop suddenly]
Andrew: I am a big dummy with a short attention span, and I think that's a good, important perspective to have in this conversation.
[the podcast's theme music plays]
Alex: Everyone’s got a podcast these days, and the collective noise is deafening. We’re on a mission to find great shows and ask - what makes them so great?
Want to discover new shows you’ll love? Figure out why they work so well? And just generally nerd out about podcasts?
Then join us on Podcast Book Club, from Lower Street Media. The idea’s simple - each week a different group of us podcasting pros sit down to pour over a show we admire, and talk about what makes it tick.

Jackie: And the more understanding you are of, like, who your audience is and who's actually gonna be listening and, you know, you have that idea of the person on the other end, I think the better the podcast is gonna be.
Zoe: The music is very subtle, but when I did sit back and listen to it properly, it really added to it just because of the subtlety and sort of building this dream-like experience.
Marion: I thought it was really interesting, very layered, so beautifully written, and so well designed.
[clips end]
Alex: We spend our work days making podcasts - but as well as creating, we always want to learn more, find new and exciting shows, and just have a chat about our favourite medium. So join us for season 1 - coming soon.
