A little teaser of something very special we have lined up for Norwich Podcast Festival. Audio Bites will be a first-of-its-kind sensory feast blending global dishes with immersive audio.

Featuring multiple thoughtfully crafted courses from chefs representing global cuisines, guests will be taken on a journey that celebrates the theme of connection.

Nestled between the dishes will be audio pieces created by producers from around the world - from intimate monologues and evocative soundscapes to mini-documentaries.

The event will form the festival finale on Sunday 19th October, hosted in a popular Norwich city centre location. Limited tickets and more info will be released very soon...

Ever wondered what it’s like inside a podcast studio? Drop in and spend a relaxed day with us here at SOUNDYARD as part of our Open Studio event for Norwich Podcast Festival.

We’ll have the kettle on and plenty of biscuits. Take a look around, and get hands-on with the studio gear. Perhaps you could try recording a quick podcast-style introduction (and take it home with you), or bring your camera along to see how it looks in the space.

Co-founders Sophie and Anna will be around for a friendly chat about your podcast idea, a community project you’re dreaming up, or how you might use the space for an event.

Whether you’re a podcaster, a creative, or just curious about what goes on behind the mic, this is an easy-going chance to explore the studio, ask questions, and imagine what you could make here.
