StoryLab Podcast Producer (Volunteer)
Details
Description
Category: Programs – StoryLab & Media
Location: Remote-friendly
Time Commitment: 4–6 hours/week per episode cycle (varies by edit depth)
Term: 3-month pilot (goal: publish consistently), renewable
Optional: This role can convert to paid contract when funding allows.
Role Summary (Neon/Idealist)
InclusiVibe Foundation is seeking a Podcast Producer to help relaunch and sustain our StoryLab audio work—turning recorded conversations into polished, accessible episodes. This role owns the episode pipeline so the podcast moves from “recorded” to “published” reliably and respectfully.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage the episode workflow: scheduling support → recording logistics → editing → transcript/captions → show notes → publishing.
- Edit episodes for clarity and quality (basic cleanup, pacing, intro/outro integration) and ensure accessibility basics (transcript, timestamps when needed).
- Coordinate deliverables with the team (episode titles, short clips, release dates) and maintain clean file organization.
Required / Preferred Qualifications
- Comfort with audio editing tools (e.g., Descript, Audition, Reaper, GarageBand) and file management.
- Strong editorial judgment: ability to maintain a trauma-aware, patient-centered tone without sensationalizing.
- Experience producing podcasts or audio storytelling is strongly preferred; accessibility awareness is a plus.
What Success Looks Like (First 30 Days)
- Publish 1 episode (even a “simple edit” release) to re-establish momentum.
- Build a lightweight repeatable workflow checklist for future episodes.
How to Apply
Share: (1) a short note about your experience, (2) your preferred editing tools, and (3) if available, 1–2 samples or links to audio work (can be private/unlisted).

Please fill out this form
To apply, please include:
- A short note (5–8 sentences) covering why you’re interested, relevant experience, your time zone, and your weekly availability (hours/week).
- One relevant sample or proof of work (link or PDF)—this can be a portfolio, writing sample, spreadsheet/dashboard screenshot, audio/video clip, or project summary. If you are newer, share a sample project and clearly describe what you did.
- A one-sentence tools check: confirm you can work in shared folders (Google Drive or similar), follow file naming conventions, and communicate reliably via email/Slack.
Selected volunteers will be asked to complete a brief onboarding step and sign a Volunteer Agreement before receiving access to internal tools.
Please also include:
- One podcast or audio sample you edited/produced (or a 60–90s before/after clip).
- Your preferred editing tools (e.g., Descript, Audition, Reaper, Audacity).
- Whether you can support transcripts + show notes as part of your delivery.
