About Shell

I’m Shell, a UK-based podcast producer with over three years of experience hosting, producing, and editing successful shows; both my own and for clients across a range of industries.  With formal training in podcast engineering, I combine technical precision with creative flair, ensuring every episode sounds professional, polished, and full of personality.

Podcasting, for me, isn’t just about good audio; it’s about connection. It’s about helping people share stories that make listeners stop scrolling, lean in, and really listen. I believe a good podcast, has the ability to change someone’s life.

The Story Behind “We Recover Loudly”

After 18 months of sobriety, I launched We Recover Loudly which is a podcast born from my own experiences in the hospitality industry and recovery.  I knew my story of stress, burnout, addiction and ultimately mental breakdown could not be the only one. I felt that if I’d seen or heard someone like me speaking openly about addiction, and mental health struggles, maybe I would not have fallen so far into despair.

We Recover Loudly became my way of breaking that silence.  The podcast allowed me to share real stories and truths about addiction in hospitality, exposing what had become an “open secret,” and encouraging businesses to wake up to the realities behind the industry’s culture.

The show took off, connecting me with award-winning chefs, thought leaders, celebrities, and everyday people who had powerful stories to tell.  Through it all, I saw just how transformative podcasting could be, and what an incredible platform for honesty, healing, and human connection it really is.

And because starting a podcast doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated, I wanted to help others do the same with fair, honest, and authentic support (and without the inflated “coaching” prices I once paid for a ‘start your own podcast’ course!).

Why “Unmuted Studios”?

The name Unmuted Studios captures what I love most about this medium: the power of being heard. For so long, many of us - individuals, brands, and entire communities - have been muted in one way or another. Afraid to speak up, unsure if our stories mattered, or simply not given the platform to share them. Podcasting changes that. It gives people permission to unmute, to tell the truth, to connect in ways that social media soundbites never can.

When I created Unmuted Studios, it wasn’t just about producing great audio. It was about creating a safe, collaborative space where people could explore ideas, express themselves, and be unapologetically authentic. I’ve seen how powerful it can be when someone finds their voice. Whether it’s a founder finally sharing their purpose, or a guest opening up about something real and raw for the first time. Podcasting gives people and brands the confidence to unmute their voices , to share stories, spark conversations, and connect with their communities in a more human way.

Every project I take on is about bringing those voices to life with clarity, creativity, and purpose. My role isn’t just to make your podcast sound great; it’s to make sure your message resonates, reaches the right ears, and creates impact.

Because when you unmute your voice, you don’t just speak … you inspire others to do the same.

My Approach & HOW I WORK

Every project starts with your voice - literally. I guide clients from concept to launch, helping them shape their ideas, define their tone, and create audio and video that genuinely reflect who they are.

I believe the best podcasts are built on authenticity and strategy, not just a good microphone. Together, we’ll map out everything from audience and format to storytelling style and sound design. Whether you’re a brand, business owner, or individual with something to say, I’ll help you turn your message into something memorable.

When you work with me, you get more than a producer.  You gain a creative partner.
I become part of your team, supporting you every step of the way: from idea generation and guest sourcing to editing, publishing, and promotion strategy.

My process is collaborative and transparent. I keep communication open, timelines clear, and every project focused on achieving your goals.

My rates are always tailored to your needs, ensuring you get exceptional value and a production approach that fits your vision and budget.

Let’s Work Together

Whether you’re starting from scratch or ready to take your podcast to the next level, I’d love to help you make it happen. Let’s create something that sounds incredible and feels authentic to you.
