ACKRO STUDIO COMMUNITY PROJECTOne story. One recording. A new audience.

What the selected project receives

A focused first
recording experience.

One selected project each month receives the following at no charge from ACKRO Studio.

01

Up to one hour of recording

A podcast recording session of up to one hour. We’ll agree the format, participants and session plan with you before the recording date.

02

A basic edit

A straightforward edit of the recorded conversation. We’ll confirm the edit scope and final file format with the selected applicant before the session.

03

Planning with ACKRO Studio

We’ll be in touch to discuss the idea, practical arrangements, timing and a suitable recording setup.

The project covers the recording and basic edit described above. Extra recording time, advanced post-production, video edits and additional deliverables are outside this offer unless separately agreed.

Thoughtful, monthly review

A little about
how it works.

We’re looking for original stories with something meaningful to offer listeners, especially stories connected to a person or community whose voice deserves more room.

You don’t need a polished pitch or a large audience. You can tell us if a paid session isn’t accessible for you, but we don’t need private financial details.

  1. 01

    Send an application

    Introduce yourself, share the story you have in mind and tell us who you hope it reaches.

  2. 02

    We review submissions monthly

    ACKRO Studio considers the applications and selects one project. Submitting an application doesn’t guarantee selection.

  3. 03

    If selected, plan the session

    We’ll contact you directly to confirm the idea, recording arrangements, timing and edit scope before anything is scheduled.
