Who You Are:
- You have 3-5 years of experience: You have demonstrated experience in long-form, narrative podcasting or documentary-style storytelling. You have experience in producing audio, including pitching, gathering tape, interviewing guests, hosting, editing interviews for content, and working with audio engineers on sound design.
