Podcast production for museums & cultural organisations.
PRONK! develops story-led podcasts and audio series around collections, histories, research and cultural material — helping institutions create work that feels authoritative without becoming institutional.
The opportunity
Collections already contain stories.
Museums and cultural organisations often sit on extraordinary material: objects, archives, histories, expertise and living cultural connections. The challenge is not creating substance. It is finding the editorial route that turns that substance into listening.
PRONK! looks for character, tension, context, voice and sound — giving the audience a way into the subject without reducing it to a lecture or promotional message.
From collection to listening experience
Editorial development before production machinery.
01
Find the way in
Identify the story, question, object, person or theme that gives an audience a reason to listen.
02
Shape the format
Develop episode structures, narration, interviews, archive and recurring editorial devices around the material.
03
Research & contributors
Work carefully with specialists, curators, researchers and contributors while keeping the listening experience central.
04
Record
Capture voices, environments and location sound where they add texture and meaning.
05
Edit & sound design
Build a clear narrative, pace and sound world around the strongest material.
06
Deliver
Mix, master and prepare the finished production for public release.

The editorial approach
Authority without stiffness.
The production balances institutional authority with a lively editorial voice, creating a narrative route through complex collections, histories and ideas.

Research & culture
PRONK! also works with universities and research organisations where specialist material needs a compelling public-facing form.
Explore the wider specialismWhere audio can help
Beyond exhibition marketing.
Audio can create space for deeper interpretation, stories around collections, research-led series, oral histories, public-engagement work and limited documentary formats.
We can begin with an exhibition, collection, archive, research programme, institutional theme or simply a subject that feels richer than its current public-facing form.
Common questions
Built for the material, not around a standard podcast template.
Can PRONK! develop the format?
Yes. We can begin before a show structure exists and develop the audience, angle, treatment, contributors and format with you.
Can you work with specialist or sensitive material?
Yes. The editorial approach is designed to preserve nuance while giving the listener enough context and shape to stay with the story.
Can the production include archive and location sound?
Yes, where the rights, material and story support it. Documentary elements can sit alongside interviews and narration rather than relying on a single format.
