Echo Podhala - an audio drama and workshop platform for Rabcio Puppet Theatre
How we built a cultural project website that brings audio drama, podcasts, workshops and Podhale traditions into one vivid online story.
CEO 234.studio • May 2026
Echo Podhala is a project by Rabcio Puppet Theatre in Rabka-Zdrój. The website presents audio dramas inspired by Podhale tales, podcasts about folk culture in theatre and arts education workshops. We developed a site that works at once as a stage, an archive and an invitation to take part.

Connecting sound, theatre and education
This was far from a standard information website. It needed to guide people through audio dramas, podcasts, workshops and the team without becoming confusing.
Building a bold visual language
Folk forms, intense colours and large unconventional compositions shape the design. The frontend had to retain that energy on desktop and mobile.
Embedding external media
The site draws video and audio from YouTube. We needed an attractive presentation that kept the page legible and quick.
What we did
Project structure
We organised the site around three formats: audio drama, podcasts and workshops. Each has a distinct path, while the complete experience reads as one story about Podhale culture.
Implementing the Cobance Studio design
Cobance Studio created the visual direction. We translated its oversized shapes, custom buttons, folk palette and distinctive type into a responsive frontend.
Audio drama and podcast sections
Reusable modules present the latest releases, descriptions, duration, dates and YouTube links. Visitors can move straight from an introduction to listening or watching.
Workshops and project team
Five workshop themes sit alongside profiles of the people behind the project. Expandable descriptions keep the longer material easy to browse.
SSR, SEO and publication
Angular Server-Side Rendering provides indexable HTML. Metadata, Open Graph and canonical URLs support cultural promotion in Google and on social media.
"A cultural project website has to carry sound and story as well as information, then leave a clear route to listen, watch or join a workshop."

These figures describe this specific project. Results for another business will depend on its starting point, market and available data.
Echo Podhala brings local stories into audio, video and workshops. The frontend stays light to use while carrying the project's theatrical, archival and distinctly regional energy.
Summary
Echo Podhala now has one coherent home for the rich Rabcio Puppet Theatre project. Audio dramas, podcasts, workshops, team profiles and contact details sit within a visual language that connects Podhale traditions with contemporary cultural communication.
