We are looking for a Podcast Producer based in the UK, with a proven track record of working on factual storytelling, both on long-form narrative series and weekly-released content.

- Podcast production • Research • Developing and pitching your ideas • Narrative structuring • Series planning • Recording contributors, both remotely and on location • Script writing and editing • Audio editing • Devising and implementing production schedules
Who you are:
- 2 years+ experience as an audio producer • Experience as a producer on long form narrative podcasts • An expert storyteller • A strong understanding of the podcasting landscape • Exceptionally organised with a high level of attention to detail • A skilled multitasker able to juggle priorities • Self-starter and problem solver
Who we are: What’s the Story? Sounds are one of the UK’s fastest growing podcast producers. Based in Leeds, we’re an ambitious company, whose titles include ‘The Missing’, ‘Body of Proof’ and ‘Emily Atack: Lie Detector’. We’re passionate about story-telling – and crafting complex narratives. We work with a number of platforms in the UK and the US, and have multiple new projects in production.
