About the Role

WAMC is seeking a dynamic producer for live shows, newscasts, and podcasts. The person in this role is responsible for producing high-quality live and recorded audio/video content across broadcast radio, podcasts, YouTube, and digital platforms. This includes managing the daily production calendar, prepping the host, booking guests and contributors, building rundowns, and ensuring every piece of content is ready for daily broadcast. The producer will host as needed, and serve as the editorial bridge to the show's social/digital team, providing footage access and timestamp notes after each broadcast so the team can produce short-form clips for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok.

This is a demanding, multi-platform, deadline-intensive role. The ideal candidate has done daily live production before, understands YouTube workflows, and is ready to bring that experience to something new and locally important.

Starting Salary $52,000
