FORMATS

Social Broadcasts is a different kind of audio company, putting personal stories and conversations at the heart of everything we produce.
Here are some of the formats that we have developed: 

  • Live workshops, immersive broadcasts and live radio experiments that encourage new ways of listening and promote the power of community conversation. Find out more

  • Bringing topics of discussion and conversations to life through thoughtful production and beautifully crafted sound. Examples

  • Capturing the heart of a neighbourhood through the voices of the people that live and work there. Find out more

  • Creating frameworks and contexts in order to record and transmit personal stories and experiences around a specific place or moment in time. (Oral histories) Example

  • Visualising intimate personal audio story-telling through animation. Podcasts for the ears and the eyes. Example

  • A digital platform dedicated to independent speech-based audio works and bespoke curated audio collections. Find out more
