On-location video podcasts · Barcelona
Your podcast, filmed where your story happens
I bring up to three cameras, light and clean sound to your office, shop, restaurant or a bookshop full of guests. You get an episode that looks like a show, plus short clips for social. From €390 + VAT.
The problem
Most podcasts look like they were filmed in the same room
Same grey wall, same two chairs, same foam behind the mics. Your own place says far more about you, but filming there goes wrong in its own ways: echo, street noise, bad light and a day that runs late.
A studio says nothing about you
Your office, shop, kitchen or city is part of the story. Viewers remember a place long after they forget a backdrop.
Guests are busy people
Asking them to cross town to a studio is one more reason to say no. When the set comes to them, the yes comes easier.
Sound is the real risk
On location the danger is echo and noise. Viewers forgive a soft picture long before they forgive sound they have to strain to hear.
The offer
A complete podcast set that comes to you
I check the place before the shoot, plan the day around the light and the forecast, and set up cameras, light and sound wherever the conversation fits. One person runs the whole thing, so you only think about the talk.
- Up to three cameras: a wide shot and a close-up of each speaker
- A lavalier and a shotgun mic on every speaker, each on its own track, mixed live on a RØDECaster Duo, with a backup recording
- Light for the room you have, from a small flat to a shop full of people
- Location scouting and a plan for the day, with a backup if the weather turns
- Edit with colour, sound, titles and subtitles, plus short vertical clips
Packages
Prices + 21% VAT. Editing only from €250, extra clips €45 each, episode prep from €300. Longer episodes, a fourth speaker or a second location are quoted on the brief.

Brief
Who the episode is for, what they should remember and where it will run. A short form or a call is enough.
Place and plan
I check the location for light and noise, and we set the questions and a schedule for the day.
Shoot
Set-up, recording on every camera and microphone with a backup running, and the day kept on time.
Edit
The full episode with colour, sound and subtitles, plus short clips. Two rounds of revisions.
Sound and remote viewing
You can re-shoot a landscape. You cannot re-shoot a conversation.
That is why every speaker gets two microphones on separate tracks, and a backup recording runs the whole time. If you or your team cannot be on set, you get a private link with the camera feed and sound and can ask for another take while we film. Remote viewing is €30 per hour.
On set
All three cameras on one screen
During the recording I watch every camera live on a tablet: framing, focus, exposure and whether each one is still recording. If something drifts, I fix it between questions, so a long conversation never loses an angle.
RØDECaster DuoEvery microphone runs through the mixer on its own channel, so I hear each voice and set the levels live.
FAQ
Questions about on-location podcasts
Where can we film?
Anywhere the conversation fits: your office, a shop, a restaurant, a flat, a park or a hotel room. I check the place beforehand for light and noise. Barcelona and nearby are standard; other cities in Spain and Europe are quoted on the brief.
What if it rains or the place is noisy?
For outdoor shoots I check the forecast the day before and we agree a move if the weather is critical. Noise is handled with a microphone close to every speaker and a backup recording.
Can you record a live episode with an audience?
Yes. The Habla con Daria episode was recorded live in a bookshop full of guests, with three cameras running for the whole evening.
Do I need to prepare answers in advance?
You get the questions before the shoot and we run through them together. Nothing is read from a script; the point is that you sound like yourself.
How long does a session take?
A single episode usually takes three to four hours on site, including set-up. An expert day is up to four hours of filming and up to eight hours on site.
Can you only record, and our editor does the rest?
Yes, that is the Recording package: camera files and separate audio tracks, synced on request. Raw footage is always available at no extra cost.
Which languages do you work in?
English, Spanish and Russian on set, and subtitles in any language you need.
When do I get the episode, and how do I pay?
The first-cut date is set in your quote before the shoot, with two rounds of revisions. A 30–50% prepayment confirms the date, and you get a proper invoice.
