Podcast as a Service
We spotlight materials and nanoscience by interviewing scientists about their research, grants, and life as a scientist.
Track record
Feature as a guest
Come on Under the Microscope and talk about your research project, a grant you've recently won, or an award you've recently received. You are the guest — this is your episode, on your work, in your words.
- Talk about your current research project
- Talk about a grant you have recently won
- Talk about an award you have recently received
- Production cost can be funded by your research project or institute, as a dissemination and communication expense
Feature your scientists
If you make equipment, software, tools or products for scientists, feature your power users on Under the Microscope. We produce a custom episode for your project, company or institute — still built on the scientist approach, so the researcher and the science stay the story, not the product.
- For equipment manufacturers, software companies and companies building for scientists
- Feature your power users — the researchers who use what you make
- A custom episode for your project, company or institute
- Built on the same scientist-first format as every other episode

What guests say
Researchers who have sat on the other side of the microphone. Pulled live from the testimonials on this site.
The recording was done very professionally, and the host is an experienced interviewer that understands perfectly how to make a guest feel at ease with the recording and interview format.

Under the Microscope podcast guestI recently had the pleasure of recording a podcast with Pranoti, where we discussed my research on engineered living materials. The entire experience was exceptionally well organized, with clear communication and a highly professional approach from start to finish. Pranoti is a curious and thoughtful interviewer who asked insightful questions and created an engaging atmosphere for discussion. I truly enjoyed participating and appreciated the opportunity to share my work.

Under the Microscope podcast guestIt was easy and natural to talk to Pranoti as a podcast host. She creates a positive atmosphere and tries to make even stressed guests more relaxed. Her follow-up questions make it easier not to forget something important and give time to think about the answers.

Under the Microscope podcast guestAppearing on The Science Talk was a genuinely enjoyable and recommendable experience. Having Pranoti as a host made something as initially daunting as a first podcast feel surprisingly natural. From the clear pre-recording guidance to the thoughtful post-recording debrief, every step was designed to put me at ease.

Our SciComm Approach
There are two ways to do science communication. The innovation approach puts the product or the company first. The scientist approach puts the person doing the research first. Under the Microscope follows the scientist approach — on every episode, whoever is funding it, it is the scientist who is the guest and the research that is the subject. Topics span materials science and nanoscience through to life sciences and the natural sciences more broadly.
Who this is for
- Research groups and PIs with a result that deserves an audience beyond the journal
- EU-funded projects and consortia with a dissemination work package to deliver
- Institutes and universities building a public science presence without hiring a production team
- Deep-tech and instrumentation companies who want credibility with a scientific audience
