We’re hiring!

Open Source, a weekly public radio show covering arts, ideas, and politics that airs on WBUR in Boston (also the very first podcast), is looking for a new producer.

It’s a dream job for an insatiably curious person, who still reads books (yes, even fiction), listens to podcasts, and has some experience as a researcher or is just really good at digging for information. We’re looking for another team member to help us plan shows, find guests, edit interviews, curate our archives, manage our social media feeds and write for our website and newsletter.

Requirements include passion and interests of all kinds, specially in arts, culture, politics and ideas; energy (we work long hours), and a positive attitude (the world is gloomy enough). Whether it’s Trump or Sanders; Cuba or China; Van Morrison or Otis Redding; Transcendentalism or Afrofuturism; Marxism or Surveillance Capitalism — if it’s interesting, we’ll talk about it.

We’re looking for someone with audio chops, social media expertise, and an interest in contemporary politics, arts, and ideas. Experience with Hindenburg, Audition, or ProTools a big plus.

You’ll also be encouraged to find your own projects to help expand the show’s reach (we know there’s more people like us out there). Others have worked on video documentaries, interview trailers, live events, cross-platform collaborations with online publications, and other side projects.

As a producer for Open Source, you will:

· Record and edit audio

· Brainstorm and research show topics

· Find guests

· Manage our social media accounts

· Attend and assist with live Thursday night shows

· Write the weekly OS newsletter

If you’re interested, send a CV, a cover letter, and a list of 5–10 show pitches to rebecca@radioopensource.org.
