Podcast Editor - TV & Film

Job Description

The TV & Film Podcast Editor works closely with podcast executive producers, producers, and hosts to create interview-based and longform narrative series that are connected to TV shows, films, and the entertainment industry at large. While these shows have a variety of voices, genres, and formats, they are rooted in audience curiosity and bloom into compelling audio. Examples of previous shows include The Chernobyl Podcast, Netflix's Behind The Scenes, HBO's I'll Be Gone In The Dark Podcast, Lovecraft Country Radio, and Okay, Now Listen. While there will be opportunities to be an editor on other podcasts across Pineapple Street Studios, TV & Film will be your priority.

This position can be located in Brooklyn, NY or Los Angeles, CA once we're back in our offices.
