How it works

Five steps. No tech degree required.

We supply the studio, the training and the cloud. Your students supply the stories. Everything in between is us.

how
1

Turn on

Your RØDECaster studio arrives configured and ready to go. Plug it in. That is the whole setup.

2

Record

Press the big red button. Students run the session — interviews, features, school news, whatever they have planned.

3

Have fun

This is the part schools underestimate. Kids light up. Staff relax. The best content comes out of the bits nobody scripted.

4

Upload

Drop the file into the TeamCast Cloud. Our producers edit, master and package the episode with your artwork.

5

Share

Your finished episode, unique links and push notifications land with your whole community — phones, cars, kitchens.

What is included

Everything except the stories.

Those are yours. We handle the rest so a busy school never has to become a production house.

Hardware

A real studio

RØDECaster Pro console, broadcast headsets and microphones. Arrives configured, ready to record out of the box.

Production

Full editing service

Our producers edit, master, add intro and outro music, and build your show artwork. You upload raw, we return finished.

Distribution

Everywhere they listen

Spotify, Apple Podcasts, unique shareable links and push notifications straight to your community.

Training

Onboarding for staff and students

A live session to get your first episode recorded, plus episode formats, interview prompts and run sheets your student team can use straight away.

Ongoing

A producer on call

Stuck on an idea, a technical hiccup, or planning a big episode? There is a human on the other end, not a ticket queue.

FAQ

The questions every principal asks.

Do we need a tech person on staff?

No. The studio arrives pre-configured and the recording process is one button. If you can turn on a kettle, you can run a TeamCast session.

How long does an episode take?

Most schools record for 20–30 minutes and publish a 10–15 minute episode. Recording usually happens in a single lunchtime or a scheduled session each fortnight.

Who does the editing?

We do. You upload the raw file and our producers handle editing, mastering, intro and outro music, artwork and distribution.

Where do the episodes live?

Wherever your families already listen — Spotify, Apple Podcasts and a unique link you can drop straight into an email, app or website. Push notifications go out automatically.

Is student data safe?

Yes. Episodes are published under your school’s own show. You control what is recorded, what is approved and what goes out. Nothing publishes without your sign-off.

Can we still send a newsletter?

Absolutely. Some schools run both. Elwood Primary chose to retire theirs entirely; St Mary’s Hampton uses a combination. Both work.

Record your first episode this term.

Most schools go from demo to first published episode in under three weeks.
