If your programme or organisation works to improve healthcare, mental health, social care, or civic engagement — and you're looking for a human, accessible and meaningful way to reach people — podcasting might be exactly what you need.
At The SCL Agency, we create podcasts that help development, health and wellbeing systems connect with the communities they serve. We’re not a shiny media company with expensive offices in one of the media cities. We’re grounded, collaborative, and focused on impact, inclusion, and learning.
Why podcasting?
Podcasts are a powerful tool for:
Sharing real-time research in ways people can actually use
Reaching and including seldom-heard voices and communities
Creating a platform for lived experience
Breaking down complexity into digestible, actionable takeaways
Supporting knowledge uptake and influencing policy
What sets us apart?
We combine deep experience in:
Health systems and participatory research
Professional audio editing and storytelling
Inclusive production practices in challenging contexts
Whether we’re working with guests in noisy clinics, poor internet zones, or settings with no recording equipment, we still deliver high-quality audio people want to hear.
We also understand that podcasting isn’t just about sound — it’s about trust. We create safe and welcoming spaces for guests, including those who’ve never spoken in public before. We support guests and co-hosts to build confidence and develop digital storytelling skills they can use beyond the podcast.
What we offer
On-location or remote recording — even in technically difficult environments
Professional editing, sound design and production
Messaging support shaped by evidence, research, and system goals
A values-based approach to co-production, inclusion and storytelling
If you're looking for a podcast partner who can help you turn evidence into connection, and stories into action, we’d love to hear from you.
