What kind of a podcast would you like to start?

Pupil recruitment A podcast offers a unique platform to showcase your school's values, curriculum, and success stories. Engage in meaningful conversations that resonate with parents, providing them with a deeper understanding of your school.

Alumni engagement An alumni podcast series celebrates the remarkable achievements and inspiring journeys of former students. Stay connected with your alumni community, strengthen donor relations, and boost fundraising efforts by showcasing incredible stories.

Student-led podcast We offer a platform where young minds can start, nurture, and sustain their very own school podcast. Our step-by-step guidance and hands-on training equips teenagers with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to produce engaging podcast episodes.

So you wanna start a podcast…

If you're even slightly interested in starting a school podcast then you should find this collection of videos useful to you.

Podcast artwork creation

We get your school podcast up and running, and that includes podcast artwork creation. Our designers work with you to create podcast artwork that matches your school brand.

Podcast artwork is crucial for a successful channel. Without it your audience won’t feel the desire to click through to listen to your content.

It should be engaging yet simple, with sufficient clarity to be seen easily on a mobile device.

"It was much more straightforward than we thought it might be. Now it's running we've realised the time required to keep it going is much less than we imagined. Importantly though, while Bonjour makes it happen we're still the people in control of it.”

Do you really need to edit every episode?

This is a common question because most people think no editing is ever required. But it’s important to remember than when people listen to a podcast they’re most likely going to be in the car, walking the dog or working out in the gym. All three of those places have alternative ambient sound to compete with the podcast so it’s crucial to optimise audio as best as possible.

Take a listen to both these audio samples - one before treatment, the other after treatment.

Listen to Joanne Sammars from Berkhamsted talk about how little time is required to run a school podcast, we think you'll find it quite eye-opening.
