About the Role
WAMC is seeking a dynamic producer to be the daily engine behind some of the station’s most distinctive programs, including The Roundtable, an award-winning, nationally recognized daily talk program, featuring news, interviews, in-depth discussion, music, and more!
This role requires the ability to excel at speed, with editorial agility, and live-broadcast composure, but also prioritizes depth, preparation, and the ability to build an interview that goes somewhere. The person in this role also supervises junior production staff, sets the editorial standard for the team, and serves as a key editorial partner to the Executive Producer. We're looking for someone with live production experience, genuine curiosity about the news, culture, deep roots in or connection to this region, and the steadiness to help lead a team through the pressure of daily broadcast.
Starting Salary $57,500

Genuine love of culture—and the ability to turn that enthusiasm into compelling radio
Strong editorial judgment across both fast-turnaround news and longer-form interview formats

Exceptional composure and time management under the daily pressure of live production
Experience booking guests and building relationships with publicists, literary agents, community organizations, and other professionals
Experience
4+ years of experience producing a daily live radio show, broadcast news program, or equivalent. Public radio experience strongly preferred
