Job description

Freelance Podcast Producer, The Readout LOUD

In November 2015, STAT was launched as a national media brand focused on health, medicine, and life sciences. Since then, we have grown to be the authoritative and trustworthy news media source for tough-minded coverage of the business of making medicines, health tech, science, and public health. We produce daily news, investigative articles, and narrative projects in addition to multimedia features, podcasts, and opinion pieces. Our team of editors and reporters have won numerous journalism awards, including being named twice as a Pulitzer finalist. STAT is affiliated with Boston Globe Media Partners but is independent from The Boston Globe.

We are currently looking for a freelance audio producer to work on The Readout LOUD, our weekly biotech podcast.

This is a part-time contract role of approximately 20 hours per week. The producer may work remotely or from our Boston office.

The producer will work closely with the show’s hosts to plan weekly episodes, record episodes remotely, edit audio, and prepare the show’s weekly newsletter. They will also help shape the creative direction of the podcast, coordinate with STAT reporters to feature their stories, book guests, and occasionally gather audio or record interviews.

Responsibilities include:

  • Planning weekly episodes with the hosts
  • Recording episodes remotely
  • Editing audio in Adobe Audition
  • Preparing and sending the weekly podcast newsletter
  • Helping guide the creative direction of the show
  • Working with STAT reporters to bring their reporting into podcast episodes
  • Booking guests
  • Occasionally gathering audio and/or recording interviews

Qualifications:

  • Experience producing editorial podcasts, radio, or other audio journalism projects
  • Strong audio editing skills, including experience with Adobe Audition
  • Sound editorial judgment and comfort working with reporters and hosts
  • Ability to manage a weekly production schedule
  • Basic video editing skills are a plus
  • Interest or experience in biotech, health care, or science journalism is a plus

The STAT office is located in downtown Boston, nearby Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, and is easily accessible by MBTA and commuter rail lines. We have colleagues in the organization that come into the office on a regular basis and colleagues that are based in various cities throughout the US. For this role, we will consider candidates who are based anywhere in the United States.
