Award-Winning Podcast Producer Launches State-of-the-Art Studio in Sydney's Inner West

With nearly 10 million Australians tuning into podcasts every month, the appetite for audio content has never been stronger. Now, one of the country’s acclaimed podcast producers is channeling a decade of industry experience into a brand-new facility purpose-built for creators who are ready to be heard. Talent Studios, a full-service, state-of-the-art podcast studio has officially opened its doors in Five Dock, in Sydney’s Inner West.

Talent Studios is the vision of Pariya Taherzadeh, a globally recognised executive podcast producer whose credits span Australia’s most trusted broadcasters and streamers, including Netflix, ABC, SBS, and more. A refugee-turned-global -award-winner in both local and international circles, Taherzadeh has spent the better part of a decade shaping the sound of Australian audio and identifying a persistent gap in what studios were able to offer.

“In my past decade of working in the industry and producing audio, the studios were still missing a lot to satisfy not just my needs as a producer but also my clients. So I wanted to bring that well-equipped, versatile and cosy studio to life.” says Pariya Taherzadeh the founder of Talent Studios. (Pic: Amir Dabbaghian)

Talent Studios is fully wheelchair accessible, welcoming every creator through its doors. Committed to making professional podcast production available to all, the studio offers flexible pricing options to suit every budget, including subsidised rates for students, not-for-profits, and startups. 

The space also features a custom-built, noiseless air conditioning system designed specifically for the studio, ensuring a comfortable recording environment. 

For those driving in, dedicated parking including one with EV charging outlets is available on-site.

The space is designed to serve creators at every stage of the podcasting journey. From initial concept through to final delivery, the studio offers a comprehensive suite of services including consultations, scriptwriting, production, and post-production. For established creators and production teams who prefer to work independently, Talent Studios is also available for dry hire, giving access to a world-class recording environment without the full-service package. 

The result is an end-to-end creative environment that takes the complexity out of content creation, making podcasting “the easiest task in a creator’s life,” as Taherzadeh describes it.

The launch comes at a pivotal moment for Australian audio as podcasting continues to disrupt traditional media consumption patterns, with the local market among the fastest-growing in the world. Yet despite soaring listener numbers, many Australian creators have struggled to access the kind of professional infrastructure that matches the ambition of their content. Talent Studios aims to change that.

Bookings will open to public on Wednesday 20th of May: https://talentstudios.com.au
