Launching or levelling up a podcast in Greater Vancouver? Upperland Studio offers a professional podcast recording environment with a dedicated 3-camera setup, broadcast-quality audio, professional lighting, and something no other podcast studio in the region can match — a 7m × 4m curved LED wall that can serve as your backdrop. Located at 238-13880 Wireless Way, Richmond BC, the studio is purpose-built for creators who want their podcast to look and sound as professional as the content they deliver.
The 3-Camera Podcast Setup: What Is Included
Upperland’s podcast studio is designed around a professional multi-camera workflow that captures every angle of your conversation. The setup includes:
- Three camera positions: Two dedicated to individual speakers and one wide shot that captures the full set, providing complete coverage for post-production editing or live switching
- Professional lighting: Soft, flattering key lighting for each speaker position with fill and background lighting designed to create depth and visual separation from the backdrop
- Audio recording: Professional microphone setup for clear, broadcast-quality voice capture with proper acoustic treatment to minimize room reflections and ambient noise
- LED wall backdrop option: Unlike any other podcast studio in Vancouver, Upperland offers the ability to use the LED wall as a dynamic, customizable backdrop — from branded environments to abstract visuals to location-based settings
- Comfortable seating and set design: A professionally designed recording area that looks polished on camera while keeping hosts and guests comfortable during extended recording sessions
Everything is pre-configured and tested before your session begins. You arrive, sit down, and start recording. The technical complexity is handled by the Upperland team so you can focus entirely on your content.
Podcast Formats We Support
The studio’s flexible configuration supports every major podcast format:
Interview Format (1-on-1): The most popular podcast format gets the full treatment at Upperland. Two cameras capture individual speakers in flattering close-ups while the third provides an establishing wide shot. This three-angle coverage gives you maximum flexibility in post-production, allowing you to cut between speakers naturally and create visual variety that keeps viewers engaged throughout long-form conversations.
Solo / Monologue Format: For solo hosts delivering commentary, tutorials, educational content, or narrative storytelling, the setup shifts to feature multiple angles of a single speaker. This might include a straight-on medium shot, a slightly angled close-up, and a wider shot that reveals the set environment. The LED wall is particularly valuable for solo formats, where visual variety in the background helps compensate for having a single on-screen presence.
Panel / Roundtable Format (3+ Guests): For panel discussions, the camera setup can be reconfigured to cover multiple participants. The wide shot becomes especially important here, capturing group dynamics and reactions while individual cameras rotate focus based on who is speaking. Upperland’s space comfortably accommodates panels of up to four or five participants with proper camera coverage and individual audio feeds.
Hybrid Performance + Interview: Musicians, performers, and creative professionals often want to combine conversation with demonstration — playing a song, showing a technique, or presenting visual work. Upperland’s combination of podcast infrastructure and LED wall technology makes this uniquely possible. A musician can discuss their creative process and then perform a song with a custom visual environment behind them, all in the same session.

The LED Wall Advantage for Podcasts
Most podcast studios offer a fixed set with static decor, perhaps some branded elements or acoustic panels visible in the background. Upperland’s LED wall transforms the podcast backdrop into a fully customizable visual environment that can be changed between episodes — or even between segments.
Consider the possibilities:
- Branded environments: Display your podcast logo, brand colours, and visual identity as an immersive background rather than a flat graphic. The LED wall’s curvature wraps the brand environment around your hosts, creating a professional, polished look.
- Thematic backdrops: Recording an episode about travel? Display a destination skyline. Discussing technology? Use a futuristic digital environment. Interviewing a chef? Create a warm kitchen atmosphere. Each episode can have a unique visual identity.
- Subtle animated backgrounds: Gentle animation — slowly shifting colours, floating particles, soft atmospheric movement — adds visual life to your podcast without being distracting. This creates a premium feel that immediately distinguishes your show from home-studio productions.
- Sponsor integration: For podcasts with sponsors, the LED wall can display sponsor branding or products as part of the set environment — a more sophisticated and visually integrated approach than traditional ad reads or post-production graphic overlays.
Because the LED wall emits real light, it also functions as a lighting element. A warm-toned environment naturally casts warm light on the speakers, while a cool-toned environment creates a different mood — all without changing the physical lighting setup. This integration of background and lighting creates a cohesive visual experience that viewers respond to instinctively.
Live Streaming Capabilities
For podcasters who stream live on YouTube, Twitch, or other platforms, Upperland’s setup is stream-ready. The multi-camera system can output a switched feed suitable for live broadcast, allowing you to stream your podcast in real time with professional camera angles and the LED wall backdrop. This means your live audience sees the same production quality as your edited podcast release — a significant advantage in building and maintaining a loyal viewership.
The studio’s internet connectivity supports reliable streaming, and the team can assist with technical setup to ensure your stream runs smoothly from start to finish. Whether you are doing a weekly live show or a special live event episode, the infrastructure is in place to support professional-quality live broadcasting.
Equipment and What to Bring
Upperland’s podcast studio is designed to be turnkey — you should not need to bring much beyond yourself, your guests, and your content plan. The studio provides:
- Professional cameras and lenses optimized for podcast recording
- Broadcast-quality microphones and audio recording equipment
- Professional lighting configured for on-camera appearance
- LED wall with pre-loaded or custom environments
- Recording media and file transfer capability
If you have specific equipment preferences — a particular microphone you always use, personal camera settings, or specific recording software — you are welcome to bring those. The studio team will integrate your equipment into the existing setup to ensure everything works seamlessly together.
Pricing and Booking
Podcast studio rental at Upperland starts at $99 per hour. This includes access to the 3-camera setup, lighting, audio equipment, and a standard LED wall backdrop. Custom LED wall environments and additional production services can be arranged during the booking consultation.
For podcasters on a regular recording schedule, multi-session packages are available at reduced rates.

- Step 3: Book your session online or through the studio team, selecting your preferred date, time, and duration
- Step 4: Arrive at your scheduled time, sit down, and start recording — the technical setup will be ready
Why Professional Podcast Production Matters
In 2026, audio-only podcasts are no longer the default. Platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts all prioritize video content, and listeners increasingly expect to see the hosts and guests they are listening to. A professional visual presentation is not vanity — it is a practical requirement for growth in an increasingly competitive podcast landscape.
The difference between a home-recorded podcast and a professionally produced one is immediately visible to audiences. Proper lighting eliminates unflattering shadows and harsh webcam aesthetics. Multi-camera coverage creates dynamic visual storytelling that keeps viewers watching. And a polished set environment — especially one powered by an LED wall — signals to potential listeners and sponsors that your show is serious, established, and worth their time. See how this compares to DIY setups in our production comparison guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The studio can integrate remote guests via video conferencing, displaying their feed on a monitor visible to in-studio participants while recording their audio and video separately for clean post-production integration.
Is the LED wall backdrop included in the standard podcast rental rate?
