The challenge
Marcus had built a name on UK radio and TV, but his independent show was inconsistent: episodes shipped sporadically, audio quality varied, and no one was running distribution or social. The brand had real potential, but no system around it.
Our Approach
Mapped to the POD System
Plan
We rebuilt the format around a single promise: long-form, no-filter conversations with people the mainstream rarely platforms. We mapped a 12-month guest pipeline, defined the visual identity, and locked the publishing cadence.
Optimise
Every episode now records in our flagship room with multi-camera 4K, broadcast-grade audio and a dedicated engineer. Our post-production team turns each session into a polished long-form episode plus 8-12 short-form social cuts.
Deliver
We publish across Spotify, Apple, YouTube and TikTok the same week, supported by a distribution calendar and reactive clip strategy. Performance is reviewed monthly and the editorial plan is adjusted in real time.

The outcome
How To Kill An Hour is now one of the most recognisable independent shows in the UK, with a content engine that runs predictably each month and a brand that attracts the guests it once chased.
“The team didn't just give us a studio. They gave us a system that turned my podcast into a proper media business.”
