Casting Calls, Auditions, and Entertainment Careers

********** CASTING NOTICE **********

Production Company/Director: StealthMode Network — stealthmode.network

Project Description: Casting two on-camera hosts—ideally one man and one woman—for a new Minneapolis-based video podcast covering technology, startups, AI and business, along with fascinating subjects such as UFOs, psychedelics, consciousness, mysteries and unexplained phenomena.

The style is lively, curious and conversational, with humor, spontaneous reactions and natural chemistry between the hosts—more like two curious friends reacting to the day’s most fascinating stories than traditional journalists reading the news.

We want hosts who can interview founders and technical experts without sounding corporate, explore unconventional ideas without becoming gullible, and make complicated subjects entertaining to normal people.

Audition Date/Time/Location: Initial video submissions followed by invitation-only, 15-minute recorded auditions at a Minneapolis studio. Dates TBD.

Shooting Dates: Recurring; schedule TBD.

Shooting Location: Minneapolis–Saint Paul metro.

Union/Non Union: Non-union.

Paid/Unpaid/Deferred/Gas: Audition is unpaid. Episodes are paid at a flat $150 per host per episode, with rates rising as the show grows.

Commercial Usage Details: Full podcast episodes and promotional clips distributed on YouTube, social media, podcast platforms and other digital channels.

Character Description(s):
HOSTS — Any gender, age 21+. Strong, memorable on-camera presence; naturally curious, funny and comfortable speaking without a script.

You don’t need to be a technology expert—we care more about curiosity, quick thinking and the ability to prepare, ask smart questions and make unfamiliar subjects accessible. You should also be comfortable exploring unconventional subjects with genuine curiosity and healthy skepticism.

Experience in podcasting, comedy, acting, journalism, broadcasting or social content is helpful but not required. Must be local to the Twin Cities.
