Enter The Podcast Studio’s Search for the Next Podcast Voice
We’re excited to announce the launch of our new talent competition:
The Next Podcast Voice.
At The Podcast Studio, we believe that powerful storytelling starts with a great voice — and we’re on the lookout for two fresh, talented freelance podcast hosts right here in the UK.
Whether you’re an experienced broadcaster or a first-time content creator with something to say, this is your chance to break into the podcasting world with professional support, paid opportunities, and national exposure.
What Is the Next Podcast Voice?
It’s a UK-wide search for two new freelance podcast hosts to join our creative network. We’re looking for voices that are authentic, engaging, and full of personality. You don’t need to be a polished pro — but you do need to have passion, presence, and the drive to develop your hosting skills.
The winners will receive:
- Paid presenting gigs on real client and studio projects
- Vocal coaching to help you sound your best
- Professional mentoring from our in-house producers
- Spotlight promotion across our platforms
This is more than a competition.
It’s a launchpad!
Why We’re Doing This
At The Podcast Studio, we work with businesses, charities, and creators to craft podcasts that don’t just sound good — they get results. And that starts with the right voices behind the mic.
We believe there are incredible voices out there — voices we haven’t heard yet. Maybe you’re a community organiser, a journalist, a student, a content creator, or someone who just knows they’d thrive in front of a mic. This is your opportunity to show us what you can do.
How to Enter
The process is super simple:
- Record a short 60-second video or audio clip. Introduce yourself, tell us your podcasting style, and what kind of show you’d love to host.
- Post it to Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn.
- Tag @ThePodcastStudio and use the hashtag #NextPodcastVoice.
- Complete the form below to officially enter the competition.
đź“… Deadline: 1 October 2025
đź“Ť UK residents only
Who Should Apply?
We’re open to all kinds of voices and perspectives. You might be:

- A YouTuber or TikToker with a love for storytelling
- A coach, trainer, or subject expert who knows how to connect
- Or someone who’s never tried this before — but is ready to start
You don’t need years of experience. We’re looking for potential — and we’ll help you grow.
