Unexplainable

Unexplainable is a science show about everything we don’t know. Host Noam Hassenfeld is joined by an array of experts and Vox reporters each week to look at the most fascinating unanswered questions in science and the mind-bending ways scientists are trying to answer them. New episodes drop every Wednesday starting March 10.

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?

Today, Explained

Today, Explained is Vox's daily explainer podcast. Host Sean Rameswaram will guide you through the most important stories at the end of each day.

Every weekday, host and senior reporter Teddy Schleifer and his Recode colleagues cover the most important Silicon Valley people, businesses, and stories that are influencing the rest of the world.

The Weeds

In politics, you’re often told not to get lost in the weeds. But we love the weeds! That’s where politics becomes policy – the stuff that shapes our lives. Every Tuesday and Friday, Matthew Yglesias is joined by Ezra Klein, Dara Lind, Jane Coaston, and other Vox voices to dig into the weeds on important national issues, including health care, immigration, housing, and everything else that matters.

Worldly

We live in a confusing time, bombarded every day with news stories from around the world that can be hard to follow or fully understand. Let Worldly be your guide. Every Thursday, senior writer Zack Beauchamp, senior foreign editor Jennifer Williams, and staff defense writer Alex Ward give you the history and context you need to make sense of the moment and navigate the world around you.

Recode Media

What happens when media, entertainment, and technology collide? Peter Kafka, one of the industry's most acclaimed media editors, talks to business titans, journalists, comedians, and fellow podcasters to get their take. Tune in every Thursday to hear from people like New Yorker editor David Remnick, Full Frontal host Samantha Bee, and the host of the New York Times's The Daily, Michael Barbaro.

Vox Media Podcasts

In our new season, hosts Dylan Matthews and Sigal Samuel bring you stories about how the meat we eat affects us all, from the non-human animals to the farmers and factory workers who raise those animals and slaughter them to the environment. And you’ll learn about some potential changes, big and small, that could make the food we eat more sustainable and more humane. Produced by Vox and the Vox Media Podcast Network.

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.

Primetime

Dig into the hidden history of television with Vox’s critic-at-large, Emily VanDerWerff. Each season, we explore the tragic, comedic, and occasionally world-changing stories that have marked a medium that’s dominated the global conversation for the past 75 years. First up: TV’s relationship with the presidency, featuring deep dives into The West Wing, 24, Veep, and more. Produced by Vox and the Vox Media Podcast Network.

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.

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.

Ensure shows meet Vox’s high journalistic and creative standards.

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
