You Should Have:

  • Support the producers in the production of the podcast

This is a full-time salaried position, commensurate to experience. Benefits include quarterly bonuses, health benefits, 401(k) plan, generous PTO, parental and family leave, along with office snacks and coffee (to be enjoyed in a post-pandemic environment, of course). 

To apply, send your resume to [email protected], and include “Associate Producer” in the subject heading.
