Round The Square
City Sounds
04/10/24 • 6 min
Round The Square: In the time it takes to walk around Northampton Square starting from Danny's café, one of the students here at City tells us all about their podcast.
In this week's episode, Charlie Brown walks with Oli Mansfield from the MA Broadcast postgraduate course and hears all about his podcast Under One Sky.
Under One Sky is a podcast which attempts to paint a picture of homelessness, as a story, that is unique, dynamic and complex.
Each episode will draw on a guest's expertise and experience to bring to light a different lens to view homelessness, to give us as listeners a fuller understanding of homelessness that avoids careless speculation and stereotyping.
This is podcast that first recognises the worth and value of the people that find themselves in a state of Homelessness. They are people like you and me, just the right things in their lives have gone wrong.

City Sounds
04/12/24 • 10 min
On this episode, our hosts Charlie Brown and Tim Utzig chat with Nathan Freeman from Granny Eats Wolf who tells us the latest from the cutting edge of soundscaping in the podcast industry. And while he is one of the great masters of his craft, Nathan emphasises the importance of collaborative team work for everything that he has achieved:
"You got to work together with people you trust, that you think are great and believe in the same thing as you. The best I have ever done has never been on my own."
Nathan Freeman is a multi award winning audio director and founder of Granny Eats Wolf - a creative studio that’s putting craft back at the heart of audio storytelling and branding. A former Executive Producer at BBC Sounds and BBC Voice & A.I, he has produced podcasts, radio shows, sonic brand identities and audio dramas for 20 years. Nathan has always pioneered new exciting ways to tell stories in audio, from spatial audio to the BBC’s first synthetic voice. And was behind the world’s first exploration into dynamic live radio promos. Today, he’s continuing that innovation, twisting into life sonic worlds with spatial audio for top tier brands. His credits include Wondery’s British Scandal podcast, Spyscape’s True Spies, The Woman In Black 3D audiobook and Audible’s The Signalman working alongside Academy Award winning Director, Sam Mendes.

Podgold: Listen… and Watch?
City Sounds
03/07/25 • 12 min
Podcast Gold celebrated the very best in British podcasting. Nominees and award winners gave us insights on creativity, the production process and the shifting podcast landscape.
Can podcasts survive the video onslaught? And should they? Is something lost from the intimate connection that audio creates with listeners if visual versions predominate?
In Listen... and Watch? figures from across the best of British podcasting provide their angle on this ongoing debate. From Hannah Moore at the Guardian (who loves audio) to Andy Wood, director of Traitors Uncloaked (leaning towards video), discover who’s following the trend and who’s finding new opportunities to stand out.
Written and presented by City St George's podcast student Julie Beguin, this episode – part of the PodGold series – takes you on a lyrical journey through the arguments to reach an unexpected conclusion.
Listen... and Watch? is produced by Julie Beguin and Jackie Imas.
