Guide-ID approached us to help them design their new Podcatcher Pro. From scratch we started to work together to create an all new audio experience. With their product team we developed a full line-up of products, the Podcatcher Pro, their docking station and the IDentfiers on the wall. From first workshop, to sketching, concept development and pre-production engineering we supported them through the whole process.
When developing the Podcatcher Pro, Guide-ID wanted to make an incremental improvement – they wanted to create something that truly changes the way museums can deliver storytelling. The Pro model is designed to inspire and engage visitors like never before. Imagine walking into a room where the audio content changes automatically based on your location, or seamlessly switching between layers of sound to reveal deeper layers of a story.

The World's Smartest Audio Guide.
Pure Storytelling. No screens. Just Immersion. Meet the Podcatcher Pro.
The Art of Listening
The new Podcatcher Pro was designed for the best, most engaging audio experience. At the core of this is the new speaker, that will create the best story-telling experience. The LED ring around the speaker emphasizes this core element. The LED is also used for simple communication about status, connection, group activities and much more.

Art comes first
IDentifiers are used to start the audio. It is very important that these are easy to find while not distracting from the art.
That is why we have focused on a small and simple form factor. The circular shape is a nice reference to the speaker and the circular light ring.
Anne Frank’s Story
Bringing Anne Frank’s Story to life in New York. An intimate storytelling experience powered by the Podcatcher Pro.
The Anne Frank Exhibit New York needed an audio solution that would engage visitors without distracting from the emotional storytelling. QR codes or mobile phones were not an option.
The museum chose the Podcatcher Pro for its seamless, hands-free functionality. Visitors can move naturally through the space while the right story plays automatically, ensuring an uninterrupted experience.
Visitor engagement has exceeded expectations, with most guests listening to every stop and choosing the in-depth tour. The Podcatcher Pro has helped create a deeply immersive and emotional connection to Anne’s story.

Customer quote
”“Even with 15 years of experience in developing audio guides, we were reminded of a fundamental truth: innovation never comes without its hurdles. Creating a device that offers so much functionality while staying simple to use requires determination—and, thankfully, we’ve got plenty of that.
The journey began in Birmingham at the VE Forum alongside Kingston Miles, the Podcatcher Pro’s reception was phenomenal. It was clear from the start: this device was going to make waves.
Next came the launch in San Diego aboard the USS Midway with Mark Berlin. The enthusiastic feedback we received there was not only a relief but also a proud moment for the whole team. After four years of development, our dream is becoming a reality: a device we believe will set the global standard.“
