Who We Are:
The mission of American Public Media Group (APMG) is to enrich the mind and nourish the spirit, thereby enhancing the lives and expanding the perspectives of our audiences and assisting them in strengthening their communities. We aspire to be the leader in creating trusted and meaningful listening experiences with and for curious people, and we seek to create a diverse, inclusive culture focused on growth and outcomes to serve our audiences.
APMG's primary operating divisions Minnesota Public Radio, Southern California Public Radio and American Public Media offer multi-regional FM broadcast channels, website, mobile and social media channels, live events, national content creation and distribution. Together, these divisions operate 49 public radio stations and 42 translators serving regional audiences in eight states from Minnesota, Michigan and the Upper Midwest to Idaho and California; distribute a portfolio of more than twenty national programs reaching nearly 20MM listeners weekly through 1,000 radio stations; serve rapidly growing audiences on digital, social and mobile platforms; and produce an increasing and diverse array of podcasts featuring the best in food, culture, entertainment, mental health, water, early brain development, business and investigative journalism.
Your Role:
APM Studios seeks a Senior Producer to play a vital role in shaping an upcoming series at the intersection of America’s relationship with race and racism, family history and healing from intergenerational trauma. You’ll be a confident storyteller who knows how to tell sensitive stories; an editorial guide and collaborator with the host, and a proxy for the audience to make sure listeners are brought into the story throughout the series.
As Senior Producer you’ll deeply understand the mechanics of series production and demonstrate a comfort with archive material, organizing existing tape and new interviews and know how to plan recording schedules, manage scripting, and track workflows. You’ll also know how to bring the elements together through narration, music, and sound design, with a seamless arc across multiple episodes.
Demonstrated measurable success in crafting podcast formats from beginning to end is a must, knowing what works for the ear and will serve the audience first. Thinking beyond audio is also encouraged: developing early ideas for audience engagement or ancillary content to serve different audiences.
As Senior Producer, you should be a strong manager and coach, a kind, creative and deadline-oriented leader and have experience running narrative-driven series in a collaborative team environment. You should also have experience working with hosts, be able to balance making sure the host’s voice is front and center, while also maximizing the listener experience.
