Shoutout to Louis Allwood, our West Leederville studio manager, for winning the staff competition. With the World Cup on, it felt only right to hand the winner their favourite team's playing kit. Who would have guessed Louis was English!

To make it even more fitting, Louis was the producer on the audio content recorded with Mike Skinner for the England World Cup kit reveal earlier this year. If you haven't seen it, check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWckFz4sexM

Well done Louis. Enjoy the early 3am streams from Australia!

Most Perth businesses may not realise that hiring a podcast studio and producing video content is a legitimate business expense.

Before June 30, there is a real window to invest in content that builds your brand, positions your leadership team, and keeps working for you into the next financial year. The conversations can be transcribed and used for website material, blogs and so many more marketing resources.

We have broken down what you can claim, what the process looks like, and why now is the right time to make the decision.

The clients who get the most out of a studio session are almost always the ones who come in with a clear purpose.

Not necessarily a script. Not a fully mapped content strategy. Just a clear answer to one question. Who is this for, and what do I want them to do after they hear it?

When that clarity is there, the session runs well. The content holds up. And the episodes actually get published rather than sitting in a drive somewhere.

If you are still in the planning phase, that is the one question worth answering before you book.

We work with teams and individuals at our studios in West Leederville and West Perth.

The financial year ends in two weeks. There's still time to put your content budget to work.

Until 30 June, you can buy three hours of studio time with a producer and get a fourth hour free. $1,305 inc GST.

The deadline is on the purchase, not the recording. Lock it in before EOFY, book your sessions whenever you're ready.

Four hours could cover three months of podcast or video content with a producer running every session.

It may also be claimable as a business expense this financial year. Ask your accountant.

Podwave Studios operates in West Perth and West Leederville with two purpose built facilities designed to serve businesses across the Perth metropolitan area.

West Perth is our original location. Full acoustic treatment, a three camera setup, Shure SM7B microphones, studio lighting, accessible parking and direct access to the CBD.

West Leederville was opened to meet demand from clients and take the bar higher. Five 4K cameras, same mics, more lights, different set options and accessible.

Both studios are available for half day and full day bookings. Both offer full end-to-end production packages. Both are accessible, well equipped, and staffed by our experienced production team.

If you have not yet visited either location, we offer studio tours by appointment. It takes about twenty minutes and it answers most of the questions people have before booking.

Message us to arrange a tour, or go straight to a booking in our bio.

First podcast recording coming up? Here's what actually helps.

✓ Know your three key points not a script, just your anchors
✓ Drink water. Avoid coffee or dairy in the hour before
✓ Have a sense of your opening 30 seconds, it removes the biggest source of nerves
✓ If you stumble, pause and restart. Editors work with pauses.
✓ Send links and references to your producer before editing starts

The recording is the easy part. We handle everything around it.

Podwave Studios. West Perth and West Leederville. Walk in prepared. Walk out with something worth publishing.
