Podcasting for Educators & Academics
Take your research beyond lecture halls, reach a wider audience and gain attention for funding with a podcast.
We work with world-class educators
Podcasting May Be Your Solution
Breakthrough research deserves more than a footnote in an academic journal. Too often, groundbreaking ideas stay locked in academic circles, missing the wider public that could benefit from them.
Podcasting for educators offers a powerful way to bring research, insights, and expertise to the people who need it most—whether that’s students, fellow academics, or the world at large. It’s a tool for accessibility, authority, and connection, opening doors to funding, collaboration, and real-world impact.
At its core, podcasting is about spreading knowledge. It extends your reach far beyond the lecture hall, engaging listeners in a way no textbook ever could. It’s education in action—on demand, in-depth, and on their terms.
But launching a great podcast takes more than a microphone and an idea. Many academics waste months wrestling with production and promotion, only to stall out before their work gets the audience it deserves.
That’s where we come in. Lower Street is a podcasting for education expert, helping you craft the right format, strategy, and sound to elevate your voice and make an impact.
“Lower Street made it possible for me to launch this podcast at the highest level possible. And the results speak for themselves—listeners stay hooked for long episodes, keep coming back to re-listen, and even join live retreats. The Cost of Glory is now a resource that will stand the test of time.”

We know what you're wondering
What are your rates?
Rates depend on your individual needs. Just get in touch to discuss your podcast plans and we can let you know what they will cost. But it's probably going to cost more than a freelance editor and less than a big agency.
How long does it take to launch a podcast?
That really depends on you. How quickly will you be able to feedback on creatives, give us the information we need, and sign things off internally?
We can be up and running in as little as a couple of weeks. 6-10 weeks from kick-off call to episode 1 going out is typical, but if you're more ambitious with your podcast production style or content, it could take longer to develop.
Can you advise me on the best podcast equipment I need?
Absolutely.This is part of our launch process, we’ll walk you through what you need to achieve the best possible recordings. Get in touch with us to get started.
Can I hear some of the other podcasts you've produced?
We'd love you to! You can find some of the recent shows we've produced on our work page.
How long should my podcast be and how often should I release it?
Great questions. The answer really depends on you and your audience.
Content length and frequency should be informed by your target listener and what they need, but balanced with what is achievable for you.
This is exactly the stuff what we cover in our show development and launch process. We'd be happy to talk this through with you and create a custom podcast strategy for your goals. Let's talk.
Who is Lower Street and how long have you been in business?
