What is Poddster?

Poddster is the original podcast studio for rent in Dubai, on a mission to make podcasting more accessible to content creators, entrepreneurs, and brands alike. We have several beautifully designed and fully-equipped studios throughout the city where more than 1,000 podcasters record their podcasts.

What is included in all your packages?

All our packages include 3 cinema-grade cameras, 4x Shure SM7B mics, a RodecasterPro Audio Mixer, one professionally sound treated room, and a studio operator to handle all the technical aspects of your recording. After the recording, you receive your raw audio files.

When do I need to arrive on the day of recording?

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled session to ensure you have time to get set up and comfortable.

What is the role of the studio operator?

Our studio operator is there to ensure that everything runs smoothly during your recording. They will help with technical setup, monitor the recording, and offer support throughout the session.

Where are your studio located?

M_39, Al Rutam St, Zayed Port, Mina Zayed, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

What are your operating hours?

Our standard operating hours are from Sunday to Friday, 10am to 5pm. If you require hours earlier, later, or on a Saturday, please send a request to our team and we'll get you sorted. Bookings outside of standard operating hours or during public holidays are only available on request and have a 20% additional fee on the recording time.

Do you have parking available?

There is street parking free of charge around M_39.

What's included in a recording session at Poddster?

All our packages come with an experienced studio operator who will handle the technical aspects of your recording. Please make sure to synchronize with your operators about your agenda for the session.

Can I cancel or reschedule my session?

You can cancel, reschedule, or alter details of a session hassle-free through the use of our website. If less than 24 hours remain, please reach out to our team to discuss any next steps.

Do you accept cash payments?

We are not able to accept cash, but we are able to accept card payments on-site at our Al Barsha location. Please note that this does not apply to our other locations (Onyx, Peak, and Club).

Do you have wireless microphones available?

If you require a wireless microphone, please inform our team a minimum of 24 hours in advance with the number of microphones required and any other special adjustments you require.

What is 'live mixing'?

Live Mixing is the process of creating an edit WHILE an episode is being recorded. This solution is perfect if you have a tight production schedule and require no adjustments after a session is concluded.

Can you handle virtual recordings or webinars?

We can host a webinar for you, virtually through our studio or with a live audience! Please reach out to our team with your request and details.

How long will it take you to edit my episode?

After you're done recording, we deliver the first draft of your standard edited episode within 3 working days. Three standard highlights can be produced within another 2 working days. How fast we go also depends on how quickly you get back to us with feedback. The first episode might take a bit longer as we get the hang of your style and set up the template based on your input. But after that, it's smooth sailing for the next ones.

Can I bring my own branding or props to my session?

You're more than welcome to bring any props or branded objects to make your show stand out. We recommend you reach out to our team with your chosen setup as they can make helpful recommendations based on the set. Different setups lend themselves to different kinds of branded signage and objects.

How do I receive my files at the end of the session?

If Poddster is handling the post-production, you will receive your edited episode via Frame.io. If you are not using Poddster's post-production services, you are required to bring your own SD cards, hard drive, or laptop with enough storage.
