Persephonica is one of the UK’s leading production companies, behind hit podcasts such as Miss Me? for BBC Sounds, Political Currency, and Dua Lipa: At Your Service. We are known for creating premium, habit-forming podcasts fronted by the world’s biggest talent.
You will be joining a supportive team which values our production talent as much as the huge names we work with in front of the microphone. We are committed to diversifying the audio industry. We are a small but growing team who think on our feet and have exceptionally high standards.
The Role
We’re looking for a freelance producer to support us on the Political Currency podcast with Ed Balls and George Osborne, and for other current affairs shows currently in development.
Requirements:
1. At least 3 years demonstrable experience producing successful news and current affairs programmes - whether radio news programmes, podcasts, or documentaries. This does not include work experience or work undertaken whilst studying.
2. Advanced audio editing skills including mixing and mastering. Familiarity with Adobe Audition is essential. You will be asked to produce and edit audio that’s ready for publication without the support of a sound engineer.
3. A journalist with a strong interest in politics, the economy, and how the world works. You will have a passion for news and current affairs and a keen eye for engaging and important stories, told with rigour.
4. Sound editorial judgment and a strong knowledge of media law.
5. Experience of working with high-profile talent and big-name guests.
6. The ability to run recording sessions in a studio or remotely, using recording equipment and software such as Riverside, and experience recording audio on location.
7. A flair for creating viral social media moments and writing fun and engaging copy. Video editing skills are preferable.
8. This is a fast-paced show. You will be a highly-organised team player and a great communicator with the ability to manage tight deadlines. Political Currency is recorded and published on the same day.
Rate
£260-300 per day, depending on experience and skills.
Location
The podcast is recorded either at our studios in Shoreditch, East London on Thursdays. You will be working remotely on other days.
It will be helpful to read a short cover note as to why you are the best person for the role. We’d also like to see your CV and any examples of your finest work - please send links rather than attaching audio files. You must have the right to work full time in the UK.
Please ensure that you meet the requirements before applying - only applications which do will be considered. Due to the high number of applications we receive, we are afraid that we are unable to reply to candidates who have not made it to interview stage.
