Podcast Production

In February 2016, Ruth set up a podcast production company with her old friend and colleague Laura Sheeter. Ruth and Laura both trained and worked at the BBC, reporting and producing for over ten years. Chalk & Blade was born and has been expanding rapidly ever since. The team have just moved into their first office in east London and are making shows for the BBC, Audible, the UN and American networks including Luminary, and co-productions with First Look/Topic Studios and Malcolm Gladwell’s new production company Pushkin Industries.

Chalk & Blade are expert storytellers with an ear for the unusual. We make podcasts that capture the heart of any story. Sharing personal, intimate tales, whatever the subject. We pride ourselves on our world-class production skills, and work with the best in the business – musicians, sound designers and producers – to create beautifully crafted features.

Our work is shocking, touching, creepy and inspiring… But never dull. And, with our extensive contacts across podcasting, we’ll ensure your stories get heard, with expert advice on promoting and monetising your podcast, so it reaches the ears that count.
