- €450 / 3h, 23% VAT included
- Up to 4 people
- Alfama, Lisbon
For a video podcast in Lisbon, Kreators by bridgr in Alfama is the most complete single-room option: a dressed set for up to four people on camera, Sony FX3 video, Shure SM7B and Rode Procaster microphones into a Rodecaster Pro II, and a guest lounge beside the set, at €450 for three hours including 23% VAT, bookable online. RACOr LABS, Comuna, Filmburo and Esco Studios also record podcasts in Lisbon; the honest comparison is below, and the right answer depends on whether you need video, a warm on-camera set, and same-day production in one building.
What actually matters
Judge any room in Lisbon on these five things, whoever you end up booking.
Video, not just audio
Most listeners now find shows through clips. Check how many cameras are running and whether they are operated or locked off.
01The set on camera
A neutral shell needs art direction and money. A dressed set with real furniture and lighting looks finished from the first frame.
02Seats around the table
Two-person interviews are easy. Four people on camera with clean audio is where rooms and mixers start failing.
03What happens after
Ask whether editing, clips and vertical formats happen in the same building or need a second supplier.
04Price with VAT stated
Portuguese VAT is 23%. A rate quoted without it is not the rate you pay. Ask for both numbers.

When Kreators is the right call
- You want video from the start, on a set that already looks like a show.
- You are recording with two, three or four people on camera.
- You want to book an hour online, pay by card or Apple Pay, and turn up.
- You want the edit, the clips and the vertical cuts handled by the same team.
- You want a guest lounge, a terrace and a room that guests enjoy sitting in.
- You need a music recording studio with a live room and a full backline.
- You want a bare white cyclorama you will art-direct yourself.
- You only need a quiet booth for solo audio and nothing else.
