Made where the work happens
Our podcast studio records shows for clients, photographers hire the White Space cove, and the main stage has its own lighting rig. The courses are recorded and filmed in those rooms, on that kit.
Granary Digital Academy
Learn it where we make it
Granary Digital is a photography, film and podcast studio in a 16th-century barn near Chichester. The Academy teaches what we do there: creativity, podcasting, studio lighting, film crew work and live production.
Audio courses for your podcast app, video courses you watch when it suits you, and small-group days on the real kit.
The Phoenix Formula is finished. The other eight courses are being made now, and each has a waiting list. Join one and you'll be first to hear when it opens.

Why Granary
Taught by the people who do the work
Straight about what you get
No promises of an agent, a job or an audience. Every course says what it covers, what it doesn't and who it is not for.
Voices, disclosed
Our audio courses are presented by Mia Moore. Parts are voiced with a digital version of her voice, made with her blessing, and every course says so.

Academy news

Questions
Before you ask
When do the courses open?
The Phoenix Formula is finished and opens to its waiting list first. The others open as each one is finished. Join a course's waiting list and you'll get one email when it opens.
How do I get a course after I buy it?
Audio courses arrive as your own private podcast feed, which you open in the podcast app on your phone. Video courses arrive as a personal link by email. There is no account or password to remember.
Is that Mia's real voice?
Mia Moore is real: she's a makeup artist and co-host of Creative Conversations, the podcast recorded at Granary. Parts of our audio courses use a digital version of her voice, made with ElevenLabs and used with her blessing, and each course says so.
Where are the days at the barn?
At Granary Digital, The Old Grainstore, Adsdean, Chichester, West Sussex, PO18 9DN. The studio is about two hours from London by road, and 15 minutes by taxi from Chichester or Havant station.
Do I need to be good at it already?
No. Each course page says who it is for and who it is not for, and the days at the barn say what to bring. If you are unsure, email studio@granary.digital and ask.
