Bwlb Ltd edits and exec produces four "always on" podcasts - Planet Possible, Arts & Culture, Groundwater Rising and Beneath The Surface. All four were originated by Bwlb in partnership with the organisations they represent. All four continue to grow both in terms of listener numbers and influence / thought leadership within their respective sectors.
Keeping this stable of podcasts to a manageable size means that Founder Andy Taylor can personally edit and exec produce every episode of every podcast. This keeps the quality high and gives clients excellent value for money. Other production companies may quote an inflated price and outsource production to freelancers to increase profit margin - this is not the Bwlb way.
Below is more information on each podcast, including its back-story, its artwork, a photo of the host(s) and an example video clip which has been used to promote the podcast on social media.

Planet Possible
Planet Possible started in December 2020 as a podcast from CIWEM (Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management) and continues to grow at an impressive rate, becoming one of the UK's leading environmental podcasts, regularly topping the Earth Sciences podcast charts.
Quoted in the UK House of Lords and in UK Government White Papers, this is an industry-leading podcast that commands huge respect, carries great influence and provides unmatched thought leadership in the realms of water, climate and nature. Host Niki Roach (pictured below) had never hosted a podcast before Planet Possible and is now one of the most respected podcast presenters in the environmental space.

This podcast started in October 2023 and has continued publishing monthly episodes since then.

The video clip below is taken from the October 2025 episode 'AI in Culture'. What opportunities, pitfalls, challenges and possibilities does Artificial Intelligence present to the cultural sector? Host Tom gathered an expert panel of guests - Jocelyn Burnham (Founder - AI for Culture), Owen Hopkin (Director of New Technologies and Innovation - Arts Council England), Duncan Mann (Founder and CEO - HoxtonAI) and Sean Waterman (Head of Intellectual Property, Naomi Korn Associates).
Groundwater Rising
Groundwater Rising is a podcast from Project Groundwater / Buckinghamshire Council. Groundwater flooding is forgotten flooding. It surprises people, comes up slowly from below and takes ages to go away. Often devastating, too little is known about it... this podcast aims to change that.
The UK government is funding research into groundwater flooding and this podcast communicates the cutting edge science and data as it emerges, plus tells the stories of communities affected by (and aiming to become more resilient to) groundwater flooding. Originally hosted by Katie-Hargrave Smith (who won an industry award for her achievements with the podcast), when Katie moved to pastures new, Helen Banyard took over (both pictured below).
Launched in April 2024, Groundwater Rising has published monthly episodes ever since and continues to grow impressively.

The video clip below is taken from the November 2025 episode 'Flood Source Interaction'. Dr Paul Ellis (Hydrolex) joined host Katie to share his expertise on how groundwater interacts with other water sources. Often, in flooding situations, there is a mistaken assumption that just one source of water is involved. But, understanding how all sources of water - including groundwater (which the least is known about) is vital to understand, plan for and mitigate flooding properly.
Beneath The Surface
Beneath The Surface delivers challenging conversations about EDI (Equality, Diversity & Inclusion) in the UK Water and Wastewater sector. Beneath The Surface is a British Water podcast delivered in partnership with Xylem UK.
The podcast has two co-hosts - Lila Thompson (CEO, British Water) and Perminder Atwal (HR Business Partner, Xylem UK). They are both passionate about increasing equality, diversity and inclusion and use their own experiences as a foundation for their refreshingly honest, challenging and purpose-driven style of hosting and interviewing.
Beneath The Surface launched in October 2024 and has published monthly episodes ever since. It continues to grow and deliver on its aim to inform and inspire positive change in the UK water sector and beyond.

With a track record in - and passion for - leading and delivering progress in workplace culture at a number of organisations in his career, he shared his insights with Lila and Perminder.
