Little Dot Studios has established an in-house podcast and video studio at its London HQ, with the facility initially being used to centralize production for History Hit.
The podcast, SVOD, and content platform network founded by Dan Snow is expanding its vodcast and multiplatform distribution strategy. It currently makes eight podcast brands for an output of 16 episodes weekly. It is on track to top 1,000 video episodes a year by the end of this year.
With the new internal facility, Little Dot Studios (an All3Media company) and History Hit will bring together talent, production, and post-production workflows to drive overall content output. The in-house studio was built to support video-first productions and the adaptation of audio podcasts into visual formats. It will house production on After Dark, Dan Snow’s History Hit, and The Ancients, among others.
Steve Lanham, head of podcasts at History Hit, said: “As podcasts expand across video and new platforms, we’re able to reach new audiences while continuing to serve our core listeners. This new studio allows us to bring our teams and talent together in one space, giving us greater creative control while maintaining the quality our audience expects.”
Alex Hryniewicz, MD of network social platforms at Little Dot Studios, added: “This investment reflects the continued growth of History Hit and the wider shift towards video-led content. By building this capability in-house, we’re not only supporting high-volume podcast production, but also creating a flexible, scalable space to develop more video-led content across Little Dot Studios and its subsidiaries, History Hit and WING.”
