Podcast production with guaranteed results: 4,000+ subscribers on every show we launch
Most agencies sell a process. We sell an outcome. Every show we launch comes with 4,000+ subscribers underwritten and typically 12,000 to 19,000 downloads inside the first month. If we miss the subscriber target, the campaign keeps running at our cost until we hit it.
Here is the uncomfortable truth about branded podcasts: around 90% do not survive their first season, and three quarters never make it past episode ten. It is rarely the production that kills them. It is having no plan for the only part that matters, which is getting the right people to listen.
Ofcom’s 2026 audio report puts weekly podcast listening at 27% of UK adults, up from 23% a year earlier. The audience is there. Most branded shows never reach it. Ours do, and we put a number on it.
Two ways to work with us
On Air: we build your podcast. The full job in three stages. Strategy: audience research, format, editorial roadmap and host coaching, with success metrics agreed before episode one. Production: three-camera video and broadcast-grade audio at our own Leeds studio, on location, or remote. Launch and growth: a PR launch with trade media coverage, paid promotion and weekly reporting. From £2,500 a month, with the subscriber underwrite on every show.
On Charts: we amplify the podcast you already have. Every engagement starts with an audit and a monthly chart-rank tracker. Add Rank to get into the top 20 of your Apple UK category from £1,500 a month, or Reach, a one-off amplification campaign delivering 4,000+ new subscribers and 15,000+ downloads. Miss the target, we keep going at our cost.
As an integrated podcast agency, we handle everything except turning up and talking:
- Insight-driven concept creation. Social listening and search data to find a show your audience actually wants, before anything gets recorded
- Video-first production. Three-camera studio recording, full edit, sound design and broadcast-grade audio
- Twelve clips and a full transcript within 72 hours of every recording, so your social calendar stops being a bottleneck
- Guest strategy and booking. Shortlists ranked by topical fit and audience overlap, booked by our media relations team
- Distribution to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and Amazon Music, with episode pages structured for AI search as well as Google
- Marketing and promotion. PR, organic social, paid media and email behind every episode
“The best marketing activity we’ve done for leads in 10 years.”
Rachel Massey, Marketing Director, Huthwaite International
We built Mastering Sales & Negotiations for the sales training specialists behind SPIN Selling: top 10 in Apple’s UK Business chart and £75k of new business sourced or influenced by the show. Real revenue, not vanity metrics.
Built for B2B marketers who need to show results
Attention you cannot buy elsewhere
Weekly podcast listeners average around nine hours of listening a week (Ofcom, 2026). Forty minutes of genuine conversation with a marketing or comms director beats any number of three-second feed impressions.
A guest list that sells
Invite the customers you want, the partners you need and the voices your audience trusts. The podcast quietly becomes the warmest business development tool your company runs.
Numbers your CMO can defend
We report inbound leads, pipeline influence and sales-call assists, not downloads alone. Targets are agreed before episode one, so the board pack writes itself.
Brands That Trust Us For Content Marketing
Our services
Podcast Strategy
Audience and positioning research, format design and an editorial roadmap, with host coaching and success metrics agreed before episode one. We land on a concept that earns attention in your category, and test it before you commit.
Video-First Podcast Production
Three-camera video and broadcast-grade audio at our own Leeds studio, on location with our mobile rig, or remote. Full edit, sound design, artwork and transcripts, plus twelve social clips within 72 hours of every recording.
Podcast Distribution
Your show everywhere it needs to be: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and Amazon Music, with episode landing pages structured for Google and AI search engines alike, and a monthly chart-rank tracker so you always know where you stand.
Podcast Amplification with Guaranteed Results
The bit most production companies do not do. Every episode gets promoted through PR, organic social, paid media and email. We underwrite 4,000+ subscribers on every show we launch, with 12,000 to 19,000 downloads typical in the first month. Miss the subscriber target and the campaign keeps running at our cost until we hit it.
Why choose Prohibition?
We host a top 10 UK marketing podcast. We have made the mistakes already.
Our own show, Embracing Marketing Mistakes, sits in the top 10 of Apple’s UK marketing chart alongside Gary Vee, Neil Patel and Rory Sutherland, with a 375,000+ download catalogue, nine inbound leads and £96k of new business attributed in 18 months. Most agencies cannot show you a podcast they have grown for themselves. We can.
We have made every podcasting mistake going, we even renamed the show once we realised the first title was holding it back, and everything we sell has been tested on our own feed first. We are an award-winning PR and content agency with video production, sound, design and paid media in-house.

Where can you listen to podcasts?
First and foremost, most podcasts can be found on popular streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Google Play Music. These platforms have dedicated podcast sections that allow you to browse thousands of shows by genre, topic, or popularity. You can also use these platforms to subscribe to your favorite podcasts and receive notifications whenever new episodes are released.

This can all get tough to handle and costly, that’s why it’s best to hire a podcast agency that has experience (that’s us)!
