The Art of Repurposing Everyday Spaces into Podcast Studios

Who We Are

THE MAJIK HOUSE is a boutique production house and creative agency in Bangalore and Bombay, India. We work with brands to design and produce podcasts, both in controlled studio environments and in spaces that were never meant for content.

Over time, that’s meant building setups across:

  • Hotels
  • Boardrooms
  • Campuses
  • Event spaces

and many more, because these are places where the actual conversations take place.

The Real Constraint Isn’t Space

When hundreds of brands and creative studios are stuck, thinking about starting a podcast, the first question is usually: “Where and how do we shoot this?”

A professional studio feels like the obvious answer. But the real question they should be asking themselves is: “How do you make any space work like one?”

At MajikHouse, we ask ourselves these questions on every project because any corner can become a studio with the right tweaks.

MajikHouse x Draup AI: Turning Sheraton Grand Whitefield into a Podcast Setup


MajikHouse X Draup AI

This was the time we worked on a podcast for Draup, an AI-powered talent and sales intelligence platform. Located in the heart of the city, the Sheraton Grand Hotel is a powerhouse for large-scale events, anchored by a massive convention space. The property stands out for its integrated design, in which the hotel and convention center are connected by a glazed corridor that overlooks lush, terraced gardens and features some fantastic interior spaces.

But we knew the moment we walked in, it wasn’t a studio. It was a hotel space, designed for comfort, not content.

Which meant:

  • Uncontrolled spaces
  • Reflective surfaces that weren’t really helping
  • Lighting that wasn’t built for the camera

But the brief was to create a podcast setup that made the whole conversation feel intentional, premium, and distraction-free.

So we did what we do best at MajikHouse. We approached the space like a system.

Here are the main things we work on in any space:

  • Sound control: The first thing that will help listeners continue checking out any podcast is good sound quality. And we were sure to pull this off, without making changes to the room itself.
  • Lighting design: After sound, viewers will also need pleasant visuals to keep the conversation fresh and pleasing to the eyes. This meant building depth without over-lighting the subject
  • Framing: A great final touch to top off this setup was making the environment feel like it belonged to the conversation. That meant choosing the perfect frame with neat composition.

By the time we were done, it didn’t feel like a hotel anymore. But rather, a studio that had always been there

Whether we are transforming a hotel suite, a corporate boardroom, or an open-air terrace, the MajikHouse methodology remains consistent across every environment. We treat every location, both indoors and outdoors, as a blank canvas, applying precise treatment to ensure production standards never waver. No matter where your shoot takes place, we turn the chaos of a new location into a polished, professional studio experience.

Here are some of our other shoots that we are proud of.

MajikHouse x GE Healthcare

We partnered with GE Healthcare India to produce their podcast series exploring the future of healthcare technology.

The series features impactful dialogues on policies, innovations, and technologies driving accessible healthcare to the last mile.

This was an Indoor-shoot that needed tweaking, where we had to layer our gear with the background strategically. We stripped away the "office" feel to create an immersive, brand-aligned studio atmosphere. The result was a professional-grade production that turned their standard meeting room into a neat storytelling space.

MajikHouse x Great Lakes with Mr. Narayana Murthy

We produced a multi-episode podcast series for Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai - one of India's top-10 ranked B-schools (NIRF 34th, AMBA & AACSB accredited).

The series mainly covered leadership insights, campus culture, and industry perspectives.

These conversations, as always, helped strengthen the institute's thought leadership and connect with prospective students and the business community.

MajikHouse x Pocket FM

Here’s another podcast series where we had to convert a guest’s library into a podcast studio. We created Pocket FM's pilot podcast series in Bangalore, highlighting their top writers who came from all parts of India to share their creative journeys and beginnings.

The series gave audiences a behind-the-scenes look at the minds behind some of Pocket FM's most popular audio stories across their platform of 200M+ listeners globally.

Converting a personal space like a library into a high-end podcast studio requires a delicate balance between preserving the room's character and mastering the technical aspects. We meticulously managed sound dampening and light positioning to eliminate the typical "home office" echo while keeping the mood and the setting authentic.

MajikHouse x Mave Health

We produced podcast content for Mave Health, transforming a regular room into a perfect podcast recording studio. Mave is a renowned digital mental health platform.

The series featured conversations with therapists, psychologists, and wellness experts, and one of our best episodes featured a popular former Indian cricketer and World Cup winner, Robin Uthappa, making mental health more accessible and less stigmatized for Indian audiences.

Behind The Scenes

The magic happens long before the record button is pressed, often in corners that seem least like a studio. Take a look behind the scenes at how we’ve modified these spaces to build something professional and entirely camera-ready. Beyond just moving equipment, it is about observing how a room interacts with sound and light to uncover its hidden potential. The key is not to overdo it and to recalibrate every environment, turning cluttered corners into better spaces.

MajikHouse Does Not Look for Studios

We build them. We have effectively succeeded in doing so across:

  • Hotels
  • Offices
  • Conference rooms
  • Event spaces

Anywhere a conversation needs to happen, we figure out how to make it work, without forcing the space to become something it’s not.

What most people often look for in a podcast setup, without a doubt, are: The camera quality, the mic quality, and finally the lighting around the guests.

This is understandable and is, of course, the bare minimum.

But what they don’t see is:

  • How sound behaves in a room
  • Where light falls and where it shouldn’t
  • How framing changes the perception of space
  • How to make the setup look seamless on screen

A good podcast episode has a lot of thought put into it. This is where we excel.

Why This Matters To Us

Because brands don’t operate inside studios. The MajikHouse philosophy is to understand the space in front of you, focus on the important parts, and be as creative as possible. All the brands operate in the real world.

And that means every episode in every location will need a content strategy.  

And if your podcast setup can’t adapt to that, You have a limitation.

The Majik House Way

We’ve never waited for the perfect conditions.

We create them. From most of our shoots, the biggest takeaway has always been that podcasts don’t come from perfect rooms. They come from the right conversations, in the right environment, and at the right moment.

If you’re building a podcast and wondering where to start, You’re probably asking the wrong question.

It’s not “Where do we shoot?” It’s “How do we make any space work?”
