We live in an age of rampant misinformation and polarization. Problems compounded by media companies largely focused on clicks and eyeballs instead of depth and nuance. Companies too often obsessed with turning a profit, defending party orthodoxy, or simply avoiding controversy.
Lost Debate is a non-profit media company founded to break from that mold. Our mission is to be ethically contrarian. To find the ideas, stories, and people that are misunderstood, overlooked, or just plain threatening to those with privilege and power. Through originally produced podcasts, documentaries, short form videos, written commentary, and investigative journalism, we will build fresh narratives — not for the sake of being different but for the sake of seeing the unseen and speaking their unspoken truths. Truths that matter to the most vulnerable members of our society.
We launched fall 2021 with over $7 million in funding under the leadership of founder and CEO Ravi Gupta.
The Role:
Lost Debate is seeking a freelance bilingual podcast producer. This person would edit and help produce a weekly Spanish-language podcast that will be launched by the end of September. They will also be asked to sub in for the audio producers when one of them is not available. Although for now we can only offer a freelance opportunity, there’s a possibility this could turn into a full-time position.
Responsibilities & Qualifications:Â
- Solid written and verbal communication skills in Spanish and English.
- Edit podcasts in Spanish and English.
- High attention to detail and ability to consistently meet or exceed deadlines.
- Self starter and quick learner who will take initiative and finish tasks to completion.Â
- 2+ years of experience in audio editing and production.
This freelance position is based in New York, NY with some room for remote work and offers pay of $45/hour.
