What our Customers say

We can’t pass on our thanks enough for our experience with you.

It was great to reminisce over past events that have been so poignant and uncover forgotten treasured memories. Looking back over Dad’s life was really warming and something we will treasure always, hearing stories we’ve never heard and watching him light up talking about his past adventures was truly a wonderful time for us.

It has been a fantastic experience recording my life story with Story Locker. From the initial research call to the final recording, the process was professional. They made sure I had every I needed to ensure we had the best recording possible. The final product is fantastic and truly projected my overall message and life story. Now I can share my life story with the world.

We loved the whole experience from start to finish. From getting to know Evey and working with Hope to set it all up. It’s not often you get to sit down with your loved ones and share special memories or really talk about where your story began. And now we have a lovely moment to keep in the podcast episode! Would definitely recommend to anyone!

What if I need to reschedule my interview?

We ask that you only reschedule an interview in exceptional circumstances and require that you give us 72 hours notice.

What’s the discovery call?

Before we begin the process of recording your podcast, we’d like to get to know you better.

Your first step is to complete a short questionnaire, which highlights the key topics you wish to cover in your main interview.

The next step is the discovery call, an opportunity for you to meet your interviewer and clarify any points from your questionnaire. The discovery call is designed to make you comfortable, put you at ease and ensure the recording goes smoothly!

I’ve never done a podcast interview before, is it hard to set it all up from home?

Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through every step of the process. You’ll receive all the equipment you need including a headset and microphone. Easy to follow guidance on how to get set up will also be supplied. A Tech Producer will be on hand for your main interview recording and is always there to offer help if needed.

Can I do my Podcast Interview using my mobile phone or an ipad for the at-home podcast?

No. You need a laptop or a desktop PC with either a Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser to record your podcast interview.

What if I want to change anything in my podcast?

Once your Podcast has been professionally edited you will have the opportunity to make changes. You have unlimited revisions across all of our packages.
