Launch a higher ed podcast and reach the best minds
A high-quality podcast can share your initiative’s mission and work far beyond campus.
Universities we’ve worked with
Expand and grow with a higher ed podcast
Done right, a podcast can be a powerful driver of thought leadership. Sharing the incredible work your institution does, it’s the best way to reach your target audience.
A podcast can grow your influence with potential students, funders, researchers, and collaborators. It can build your authority to a wider audience and build connections. It can inspire action.
Unfortunately, many people spend months or even years struggling with production and promotion before getting it right… or just giving up.
There are lots of ways to start a podcast — but we’re here to make sure you start an exceptional one.

What a podcast can do for your institution
At its core - podcasting is all about spreading the word and expanding your reach.
Your institution’s mission is all about influencing and educating. That’s exactly what podcasts are for - there’s no better medium.
It can fit right into your center’s work supporting that mission and influencing minds far beyond your current community.
More than this, a university podcast is a way to spotlight key projects, share research findings, and attract new students.
Every higher education organization hits the microphone with different goals.
Lower Street makes sure you reach them by crafting the right format and content strategy to showcase your story.

We know what you're wondering
What are your rates?
We start every engagement with a launch package, as part of a seasonal package or in combination with a monthly production service. Options and pricing customized to your needs. Just get in touch if you have any questions.
How long does it take to launch a podcast?
That really depends on you. How quickly will you be able to give 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. 4-8 weeks from kick-off call to episode 1 going out is typical, but if you're more ambitious with your podcast, it could take longer to develop.
It's best to talk it through. Let's talk.
Can you advise me on the best podcast equipment I need?
Absolutely. Get in touch with us and we'll happily walk you through what you need to get your podcast set up and achieve the best possible recordings.
Can I hear some of the other podcasts you've produced?
Definitely, 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 launch package. 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?
Since starting in late 2016 Lower Street has mushroomed from a solo venture (that one man is me, Harry Morton, hi!) to a full-time team of more than 30.
Fully remote from the get-go, our team is dispersed across North America, the UK, Europe, and Asia. So whatever time zone you wake up in, we're probably online doing our thing.
This isn’t just a job for us. We genuinely love what we do and want to share our passion for audio/video storytelling. You can find out more about us here.
