The primary responsibility of the audio producer will be to create engaging weekly podcasts to complement The Economist’s print coverage. Money Talks is The Economist’s longest-running podcast and has just marked its tenth anniversary. The producer will bring creative and ambitious ideas to contribute to the redevelopment of the show’s concept and format as this flagship programme looks at how to better serve its current and future audiences within a subscriber focus.
The role requires confidence across the production cycle, from initial story pitching and development of treatments, detailed subject research, booking of high-profile guests, scripting for different host voices, to recording interviews and editing the audio. Producers will collaborate with the presenters, guests and other members of the production team within Economist Podcasts.
The producer should be comfortable recording in the field or the studio and proficient at editing in Adobe Audition.
Candidates should have a love of podcasting, a deep knowledge of financial and business news and current affairs and be keen to find new, creative ways of storytelling. We are looking for someone who has experience of narrative storytelling, scripting for audio and is comfortable working to frequent and tight deadlines. Attention to detail, a strong work ethic, professionalism and intra-office skills are essential.
