About Us

We don't just make audio. We make dreams.

We put the listener in the heart of your destination and let them feel what it's like to be there for real. This is the future of destination marketing.

We believe that travel is more than movement through a place. It is more than the seeing of sights. It is the spark of new ideas. It is seeing the world through another's eyes. It is the moments that we carry with us forever.

Armchair Productions makes award-winning audio for the travel industry. Every series is scripted and executive produced by multi-award-winning travel writers, crafted by a world-class audio team, and distributed through a network no other production company can offer. This is Armchair Productions.
