It Started With a Conversation.
The project began in Edinburgh. Ryan joined Alix Meekison at Burness Paull to sit down with Mandy Laurie WS and work through what Barely Legal, Morally Wrong could become.
Before artwork, recording or promotion came the important part: understanding the idea, audience, format, tone and how it would actually run.
Production system
Making It Work.
A strong podcast needs more than a microphone. We take it from the first idea through recording, production, content, publishing and promotion, with a clear system behind every stage.
01 · Plan
Stage 01 of 06
We shape the idea before anything gets recorded. Format, audience, episode structure, tone, guests and practical requirements are worked through so the series has a clear direction from the start.
