A New Media Force in Cumbria!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cumbria's biggest podcast teams up with pioneering local music trust!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Penrith, Cumbria, UK, 23/9/2020 - The Studio at Sunbeams, part of Annie Mawson's Sunbeams Music Trust, is to become the new home of Cumbria's most popular podcast 'Behind The Noise'.
Host Marc Farquhar has signed a multi-year deal with the Trust which will see Sunbeams provide the new studio location for the podcast, allowing the use of their excellent facilities with the aim of helping to elevate the show to a new level. In return, Farquhar and his team at 'Behind The Noise' will look to use their wide ranging audience to raise the profile of the charity even further than the high esteem in which it is already held as well as encouraging more musicians to use the fantastic recording and production facilities Sunbeams has at its disposal.
Behind The Noise Podcast
Farquhar, originally from the North East but a native of Cumbria for over 20 years, founded the podcast in early 2017 when his band Die No More was preparing for an indefinite hiatus. It has since gone on to gain a worldwide audience with many high profile guests appearing on the show including people from the BBC, Channel 4 and Glastonbury Festival. It's unique format of relaxed studio based in-depth conversations allows the listeners to really feel like they are in the room listening to a very interesting conversation and often has the guests opening up in ways they wouldn't normally be able to in a more traditional setting. Add to that the wide spectrum of guests ranging from Musicians, influencers and music industry insiders to TV personalities, comedians, actors and authors. This gives the show a broad appeal with regular downloads from over 30 countries. 'Behind The Noise' has also showcased some of Cumbria's leading lights in music, business and entertainment. For the guests themselves it's a very innovative platform on which they can reach potential new fans or customers in ways which are free from the restrictions of more traditional media and broadcasting.
