Taking the Podcast to Gigg Lane: Where Football Meets Community
As BIMTech Media, we're always looking for ways to bring our content to life—beyond the studio, and straight into the heart of stories that matter. For Episode 11 of the BIMTech Podcast, we did just that, venturing to Gigg Lane, the historical home of Bury FC, to film an unforgettable conversation with Michael Cartmell.
Gigg Lane isn’t just a football ground—it’s a symbol of community, pride, and resilience for the people of Bury. Filming on location added a vivid backdrop and emotional resonance to our episode, offering a genuine sense of place that simply can’t be replicated in a studio.
From the moment our cameras rolled, it was clear this wasn’t your average podcast. We captured the echo of history within the stands, the cherished memorabilia in the corridor, and the palpable connection Michael Cartmell shares with the club’s legacy.
Filming in situ posed its own set of challenges—from managing ambient sound to navigating tight spaces—but our production team embraced every moment, ensuring that the visuals and audio married seamlessly to bring Michael’s story to life.
In the episode titled “More Than Football: @BuryFC_Official, Family, and Community,” Michael opens up about his personal journey with Bury FC and what returning to Gigg Lane means to him and the broader community X (formerly Twitter).
His narrative is not merely a tale of football but a testament to deep-rooted bonds, shared history, and collective identity—making this episode a standout in the series.
At BIMTech Media, our mission is to tell stories that go beyond the screen—to capture the emotion, atmosphere, and authenticity behind every subject. This location shoot in Gigg Lane offered a potent opportunity to elevate the BIMTech Podcast both visually and emotionally.
