Why does my hospitality business need a podcast?
1) Impact that lasts
Podcasts are remembered 4x better than traditional advertising. That’s because your brain stores deep listening in long-term memory; making podcasts one of the most powerful ways to share your story.
2) Real connection
Audio captures emotion and atmosphere in a way no other medium can. From the clinking of glasses to your chef sharing their passion, your story comes alive - making people feel connected to your brand before they even step inside.
3) Accessible & inclusive
Podcasts are easy to listen anytime, anywhere: while commuting, cooking, or working out. And with transcripts or video, they’re also accessible for the deaf and hard of hearing.
4) Strong employer branding
A podcast showcases your vision, values, and team spirit in a way no job ad ever could. It inspires your current staff, makes them feel proud to be part of the story - and attracts new talent who already feel connected before they even apply.
5) Evergreen value
Unlike a quick ad or social post, podcasts keep working for you long after launch. Episodes stay online, are re-listened months later, and new listeners often start from episode one; making your story relevant again and again.
about
hospitality stories
Hi, I’m Saskia Ligthart! Founder of Hospitality Stories.
With 14+ years of experience in media and podcasting, I combine a love for storytelling with a passion for hospitality.
Together with trusted partners, I create branded podcasts and video content that capture the soul of your brand or venue.
Did you know…
…that podcasts are remembered 4x more than social media content, because your brain stores deep listening in long-term memory?
-
We start with an introduction call (or in your venue). Together, we explore your mission, your atmosphere, and the stories you want to tell.
-
Based on our conversation, we create a concept and script. Nothing complicated: just a clear plan to make sure your story shines.
-
We record in your own venue, so the clinking glasses, the coffee machine, and the voices of your team become part of the story. Recording takes around 2-3 hours.
-
We take care of everything: sound design, editing, mixing and (if chosen) video. You only need to listen and give feedback.
-
You’ll receive podcast episodes, video snippets for social media, and visuals to use on your website, newsletter, or in-store with QR codes.
