Entertainment Producer (Freelance)

Persephonica is looking for an exceptional entertainment / comedy producer to join our team and work on a new, premium, personality-led comedy podcast fronted by major broadcast and podcast talent. This role will particularly suit someone with strong live radio experience - a producer who is comfortable working at pace, handling contributors and callers, and shaping unpredictable moments into great, fun and sometimes ridiculous audio moments. You’ll be producing a bold, story-generating entertainment show with exceptionally high creative standards.

The Show

This is a listener-powered entertainment podcast built around the instincts of highly experienced broadcasters and podcasters. It blends personal storytelling, comedy and audience interaction to create a show that feels alive, immediate and communal.

The show will be fully visualised, with video playing a central role in how the content is experienced and shared. Beyond the podcast itself, it is designed as a 360 show brand - one that builds a genuine community across the podcast, social platforms, message boards and live events.

The Role

You will be a key creative voice on the production, working closely with the hosts and a small production team to shape episodes from idea to delivery.

This is a hands-on role for a producer who:

  • Thrives in fast-paced, personality-led environments

  • Is confident working with contributors, callers and listener submissions

  • Understands how to build and nurture communities - both through audio and on social platforms

  • Can spot great moments as they happen and help turn them into standout audio and video

  • Advanced technical abilities - can set up a studio, operate a desk and edit audio to a high standard. The ability to edit video is preferable

  • Is editorially experienced and knows where the line is

Key responsibilities include

  • Working with listeners and contributors to generate compelling content

  • Producing studio and remote recording sessions with top-tier talent

  • Editing and delivering polished, premium episodes

  • Working closely with video and social teams to create culture-cutting moments

  • Helping grow a highly engaged audience across podcasts, social media and wider community spaces

  • Managing commercial client relationships, including delivering sponsorship campaigns for brands

The Ideal Candidate will...

  • Have at least 5 years’ professional experience producing successful entertainment or comedy podcasts or radio shows (excluding student work or placements). The ideal candidate will have been the lead producer of a podcast or radio show

  • Ideally have experience producing live radio or TV, including handling callers and audience interaction

  • Have experience building and engaging communities through audio and social media

  • Be excited by visualised podcasts and have some experience of TV, video or digital video content

  • Be deeply passionate about radio, podcasts and comedy, with sharp editorial instincts

  • Be confident generating and developing ideas independently

  • Have advanced audio editing skills (Adobe Audition preferred)

  • Be fully across pop culture, including late 90s / 00s references and current trends

  • Have experience working with high-profile talent

  • Understand media law and best editorial practice

  • Have a strong instinct for social moments and engaging copy

  • Be highly organised, collaborative and calm under pressure

  • Be confident running studio and remote recording sessions

We are looking for the chosen candidate to start work in March 2026.

Location

This is a hybrid role, with a minimum of two days per week in the office / studio in London.

Payment

£300-350 per day depending on experience. Minimum 3 days a week. Project fee also an option and ideally this will transition into a staff role in time.
