Come help us produce for NPR’s hit new podcast Throughline, a highly produced journey into the past that helps listeners better understand the present. History is often missing from our national discourse and is sometimes presented in a boring way. The show aims to change that by exploring the history of current events through creative, immersive storytelling that uses cinematic production. Throughline brings the past to life in a fun, energetic way and reintroduces history to a new audience. A strong journalism background is a must, as is experience producing narrative non-fiction audio. If you equally nerd out on history and sounds design, then this is the job for you!
