About this session
Groups of three or four each make a short podcast episode, four minutes long: they pick a story from their working lives, decide who hosts and who is the guest, write an opening and six questions, record it on a phone in a quiet corner, and the team listens to every episode at the end. A podcast producer leads it, coaching each group on getting a real story out of a guest and opening so a listener stays. It suits nine to thirty people. The team leaves with episodes it made, and most teams keep making them.
In person it needs a briefing room and three or four quiet corners for recording, with people’s own phones; Workbliss brings clip-on microphones, headphones and a speaker for the listening session, and the client provides the rooms. Online, groups plan in breakout rooms, record on the call with everyone else muted or on their phones, and the producer collects the files for the listening session. In the half day groups also edit on a free phone or laptop app. It is a creative workshop, not an audio production course, and nothing is published unless the team decides to.

What’s covered
Finding the story
Every length- What makes audio workClips from three short episodes, what each does in its first twenty seconds, and why a story beats an explanation
- The story in your groupGroups of three or four find one true story from their working lives worth four minutes: a mistake, a first day, a customer, a save
- Host, guest and producerWho asks, who answers, who keeps time and presses record, and the shape of a four-minute episode on one card
Writing and recording
Every length- Six questions and an opening lineThe host writes six questions that need a story in answer, the guest picks the detail it starts on, and the group writes the first line last
- Recording in a cornerPhone on a table, microphone a hand’s width from the mouth, a quiet corner, a ten-second test, and one take with the clock running
- The pickupListening back to the take on headphones, re-recording the one answer that did not land, and recording the close on its own
Editing and listening
Every length- Cutting it downIn the half day, on a free app: trimming the start, cutting the stumbles, placing the pickup, and a music bed under the opening
- The listening sessionEvery episode played to the whole team through a speaker, with the room listening the way it would in a car, and one thing said about each
- Keeping the episodes comingThe files shared with the team, a format for a monthly five-minute episode recorded on a phone, and what publishing would take
