Land of the Giants

In Land of the Giants: The Google Empire, Recode’s Shirin Ghaffary and Big Technology’s Alex Kantrowitz explore how a company that began with idealistic goals of creative experimentation and making useful products has evolved into a worldwide power with enormous impact on our lives. Google's dominance in everything from search and online advertising to its YouTube and Android platforms gives it tremendous power and responsibility. But with multiple antitrust cases against it and its own employees rebelling against company decisions, is Google too big for its own good?

Impeachment, Explained

Understanding impeachment demands grappling questions that don't always get covered in the daily news. Impeachment, Explained with Ezra Klein does just that through deep conversations with Vox reporters and leading policy voices.

The Impact

The Impact focuses on how policy affects people. In Washington, the story often ends when Congress passes a law. For us, that’s where the story begins. We focus on the human consequences — positive and negative, expected and unexpected — when government bodies, nonprofits, or even academic institutions decide to start doing something differently.

Vox, home of The Weeds, Worldly and Recode Media is looking for our next talk show producer. You’ll primarily work on our newest show, Vox Conversations, which delivers weekly discussions between the brightest minds and the deepest thinkers to the Vox audience.

Klein

The producer will work closely with show hosts, guests and the Vox Audio and Editorial teams to produce important conversations about politics and democracy, research and academia, the ongoing quest for self-improvement, science and culture. With recent episodes featuring Sam Sanders and Olivia Nuzzi deconstructing the Trump effect to exploring how psychedelics influenced early religions to listening to one of TV’s most celebrated writers talk about why TV needs more black voices, Vox Conversations asks listeners to question old assumptions and think about the world and our role in it in a new light. You can be a part of shaping some of the most important conversations to come.

We’re looking for someone with experience working in journalism and audio. Experience working on a long-form conversation-based show is helpful, but not a requirement. Experience working with high-profile hosts would also be valuable. Comfort working in a fast-paced environment, ability to pivot quickly and the skills to lead strategic project teams are also key qualities we’re seeking. Successful candidates must share our reverence for curiosity and dogged commitment to explanatory journalism.

The ideal candidate should be equally comfortable brainstorming host and guest match-ups, working on interview prep, scheduling and engineering recording sessions, cutting an episode, pulling clips as needed and coaching a host.

Vox values thinkers, creatives, and obsessives from all backgrounds. We are looking to hire the right person — not the right résumé. We encourage those with diverse and nontraditional experience to apply.

  • Write intros, transitions and other program copy as needed
  • Edit raw interviews down to produce compelling episodes
  • Work closely with production services and engineering to ensure high sonic quality
  • Ensure shows meet Vox’s high journalistic and creative standards.
  • Collaborate with Vox journalists, show hosts and talent and help them develop their on-air skills and ideas.

What you'll bring:

  • Experience working on an conversation-based podcast, radio or TV show
  • Experience working and providing feedback to top editorial talent
  • Experience coaching journalists newer to audio in audio journalism skills - especially writing and voicing
  • Great editorial judgment and instincts
  • Proficiency in audio mixing in ProTools or other analogous audio editing software
  • Strong collaborative skills, as well as the ability to prioritize effectively
  • Interest in explanatory journalism, big ideas, and driving conversation
  • Ability to plan programs keeping in mind timely topics, an ever-varying range of ideas and voices, and a diversity of speakers
