We produce shows
Video podcasts and live-streamed events, all made using a tried and tested formula: a format, a running order, cameras cut live and a producer whose focus is giving the audience what they’re looking for, whether that’s information, advice or something totally different. The magic happens in our own custom-designed studio in Cumbria, and on location UK-wide.

What we do
Two formats
One solution
A podcast series and a streamed conference are the same discipline in two shapes: a format, a running order, cameras cut live and a crew who have done it before.
Video podcasts
Video podcasts for organisations, booked by the season. Choose from three packages. You turn up and talk; we handle everything else.
- Strategy, format and season planning
- Multi-camera record, cut live
- Studio, hybrid or fully remote
- Storyline options for every episode
- Teaser, artwork, titles and show notes
- Published to podcast apps and YouTube
- Clips, share kits and reporting

How it works
Plan it, shoot it, push it out
We follow the same three stages whether it is a twelve-part series or a single afternoon going out live.
01
Plan it
We work out who the show is for, what it is called, how long each episode runs and how often it goes out, weekly for example. We build the format, the run order and the look before anyone picks up a camera.
02
Shoot it
In the studio or on location, with a producer and crew. Multiple cameras, clear sound and guests who are well looked after, so the day runs smoothly for everyone involved. Live shows go out as they happen; recorded shows come back to us for the edit.
03
Push it out
This is where the polish happens: editing, mixing, artwork and captions, then distribution. Between episodes, your marketing team gets the clips it needs, so your subscribers never miss the next instalment of your show.

We do not just make them
for other people
Six formats of our own. Two are ticketed live pantomimes, performed on green screen inside a virtual world we build in Unreal Engine. Four are free to watch. They are where we find out what a live show can do before we put it in a proposal.
Ticketed · seasonal
A live Christmas show streamed into homes, schools and hospital wards. Performed inside a virtual set, so it can go places a stage cannot. Has its own home at santalive.tv.
Ticketed · returning 2027
A full live pantomime with the cast on green screen and the whole world of the show rendered around them in Unreal Engine.
Sound Check
Free to watch · in development
Live music, giving a platform to the best new talent coming through. Next back into production.
Film Live
Free to watch · on YouTube
The filmmaking channel. How films actually get made, for people making them on no money. Back in production soon.
Games Vault
Free to watch · on YouTube
Games, played and talked about properly. Episodes are up and watchable.
Founders
Free to watch · in development
Business conversations with the people who actually started something.
The studio
We have somewhere to put the cameras
Lake District Film Studios is our own facility on the historic Crofton Hall estate, fifteen minutes from Carlisle city centre and a short journey from the M6. Inside are two purpose-built studios, a three-camera podcast suite, a green screen infinity cove, a green room and a production office. The studio also has a lift to ensure accessibility for all.

Common questions
The things people ask first
Where are you based, and do you travel?
Our studio is at Crofton Hall near Thursby, fifteen minutes west of Carlisle. We record and stream on location across the UK as well, so if needed, we can come to you.
Do we have to come to the studio to record a podcast?
No. Most series are recorded in the studio because it is quicker and looks better, but we can also record on location, and we bring in remote guests over the internet when they cannot be in the room.
Can you stream to our own platform?
Yes. We stream to YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook and Vimeo, to private and gated platforms, and to any service that accepts a standard RTMP feed. We can also send to several destinations at once.
Do you supply crew and equipment?
Yes, both! Cameras, lighting, sound and vision mixing come as part of the booking, and we crew up utilising experienced local people rather than importing a team from three hours away.
What does it cost?
This depends on what you want to make. Podcasts are priced by the season, in three packages, and every season is a quarter; live streams and events are quoted per event. Tell us what you are making and roughly when, and we will talk it through with you on a discovery call.
About
Twenty years of making content
NEXI Media is led by producer and director Ben Phoenix, who has been making films and television since 2005 and built his first green screen studio from an empty shell in 2012. That studio worked with national broadcasters and commercial clients for years.
NEXI applies the same thinking to podcasts and live streaming: a show with a format, a run order and experienced crew — not a webcam pointed at a meeting.
