A Belfast recording studio is set to capitalise on the boom in locally made podcasts as it responds to an increasing number of entertainers and businesses seeking to produce their own content.
The expansion for 1620 Audio, the studio behind some of Northern Ireland’s best-known podcasts, including the Mudblood Podcast featuring comedians William Thompson and Paddy McDonnell, follows grant funding from the government-backed business support service Go Succeed.
Based at the Innovation Factory in the west of the city, the business was set up by first-time entrepreneurs Sean McDonnell and Luke O'Neill in 2023.
In addition to recording the podcasts, 1620 Audio, edit and distribute them, and create social media content to promote each episode.
