Every Bison Content booking includes a dedicated engineer, full technical setup before you arrive, and use of the studio space for your booked time. This is a fully staffed environment, not a dry-hire space.
Hot and cold drinks are available throughout. Files are uploaded and shared via our Google Drive after the session, held securely for one month. Post-production, additional crew, and equipment beyond the standard setup are quoted separately.
When planning your booking, allow time for setup, guest arrivals, breaks and pack-down. An 8-hour session typically suits up to four 60-minute recordings.

Full payment is required to confirm your studio booking. This is standard practice for podcast studios across London and ensures the space, kit, and engineer are reserved exclusively for you on the day.
Once your booking is agreed, we will issue an invoice with bank transfer details. A card payment link or international payment details are available on request. Purchase orders and project references can be included on the invoice.

For agencies and businesses booking the studio regularly, we offer retainer arrangements designed to support a consistent production schedule at a preferred rate.
Retainers typically suit clients booking four or more days per month. You receive a discount against the standard rates, priority scheduling, and the same engineer across bookings for continuity. If this sounds useful, get in touch and we will put a proposal together.

Sessions start and end at the times specified in your booking. Overruns are charged in 30-minute increments at the hourly rate for your service tier, plus VAT.
For example, a 3-camera video session running 30 minutes over would be charged at £75. Your engineer will confirm with you in the session if it looks like an overrun is needed, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
