A high-profile guest, a podcast on the move, and a studio set-up that made it seamless.

The Training Ground Guru podcast shares insights from the brightest minds in football. For this episode, they secured Rubén Sellés, who managed Reading and previously Southampton in the Premier League. Known for his tactical insight and journey through European football, Sellés brought prestige and profile to the conversation.

With limited time in his diary, Rubén needed a professional-quality recording space near Reading. The Training Ground Guru team wanted broadcast-standard visuals and audio—without the stress of complicated logistics.

Having been hired by Media First to design and evolve the technical layout and internal studio setup, Darren developed a space built for flexibility. Equally suited to training, live webinars, and broadcast production.

Because he understood every detail of how the studio worked, it was easy to reconfigure the environment into a bespoke podcast space. The multi-camera system and live vision mix allowed the show to be monitored in real time, with on-screen graphics for logos and sponsor branding.

Alongside the mix, we delivered clean, broadcast-quality audio and supplied raw camera feeds for maximum flexibility. But the live mix looked so polished, it was often published straight out of the studio.

The result: a slick, professional interview with a Premier League guest, delivered quickly and without compromise. For Training Ground Guru, it solved their challenge of access and quality in one go. For Darren, it showed how we can make prestige productions simple. Even under the spotlight of top-flight football.
