Podcasting, Social Media and Web 2.0 are big buzz words currently, but it’s only recently that their potentials within social and business communications are being realised. Talking Voices has been involved in social media from the beginning and is now spreading the word around the country, promoting the uses of podcasting and social media to give everyone the chance to learn more about their potentials, showing examples of podcast uses, and answering questions that members of the community or businesses may have.

As well as producing our own content, we produce many different kinds of podcasts for clients who include publishers, financial institutions, agencies, charities, radio, and market leaders including Metropolis Studios, the largest recording studios in Europe. We also work for some famous names, such as Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank and actor and comedian John Cleese.
