About the Producer Shifts
Generating ideas for podcast episodes, researching, briefing presenters and guests for interviews, recording in studio, remotely, and on location, scripting, editing, and mixing to professional standards. You'll cover a wide range of UK and international stories. Today in Focus produces podcasts on topics such as housing, pop culture, elections, conflict, education, human rights, technology, and investigations. You will work closely with senior and executive producers in a creative environment while ensuring the highest levels of editorial and legal standards.
About the Sound Designer Shifts
Scoring episodes with music selected from an online library. Music should appropriately reflect the themes and tone of the episode. Mixing the episode, ensuring the voices of the presenters, guests, tape, and archive tracks are balanced and clean. This may involve repairing audio using tools such as denoise, dereverb, de-ess, etc. Fluency in a DAW such as Ableton, Cubase, Logic, or Audition is required. You will work collaboratively with senior and executive producers, reacting to evolving news and making changes in script, music, and mix as directed.
We value and respect all differences in all people (seen and unseen) at the Guardian. We aspire to inclusive working experiences and an environment that reflects the audience we serve, where people have equal access to career development opportunities, their voices are heard, and they can contribute to the future of the Guardian.
