The technical recording aspects of the School Run were some of our most ambitious yet 😱

After much deliberation and field (literally) testing, sound designer Jon Nicholls sketched a plan for the mic setup (pictured here), and our brilliant team managed to make it happen. Outside. On a 30+ degree day. Oof! 🥴 They really were superstars.

We aim to live up to our name and consistently push the boundaries for immersive audio drama…if you’ve not had a chance to listen yet, please check out The School Run on BBC Sounds.

(And not to brag, but it *was* a Pick of the Week😜)

🚨Attention audiophiles! 🔉This one is for you…

The singular Jon Nicholls explains the microphone mechanics behind our upcoming BBC Radio 4 audio drama The School Run.

This production was recorded outside (in 30° heat mind you!) with our actors actually running around a field; which required Jon to get rather creative on the technical side of things. As ever, he rose to the occasion!

What do you think about this set up? Would you attempt to record an audio drama this way? 🤔😅

You can hear The School Run when it premieres on BBC Radio 4 Tuesday 15 September, 14:15, or from that day on BBC Sounds!

NEXT UP on BBC Radio 4 👀🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏼‍♂️
Premiering Tuesday 15 September, 14.15

A real-time comedy drama, recorded on the trot, and inspired by a true story.

Jogging is good for you. But is it supposed to be this painful?

Gareth’s son Joe is feeling down and clamming up. And now he’s refusing to go to school. Gareth decides his wife Kim has got this one, and decides to run from the problem. Literally. 8K, 45 minutes every morning before work.

Except this morning, Dominic joins him on his route. They get competitive, then they get talking. Maybe, Dominic suggests, Joe is being bullied?

Gareth refuses to believe it, even when Dominic reveals some home truths from their own school days. A revelation, a confrontation and a dare - can Gareth really outrun his past?
