Podcast producer and editor for law firm (recording through distribution)

Job Title: Podcast Producer & Editor Needed for Estate Planning Law Firm Podcast (Recording Through Distribution) Category: Podcast Editing / Audio & Video Production Job Description: We're relaunching It's About Time with Catherine Hammond, a podcast and radio show hosted by Catherine Hammond — a Colorado-based estate attorney with 30+ years of experience — that blends her professional insight with personal storytelling to help listeners navigate life's harder moments with wisdom, courage, and compassion. Catherine has drawn on her own experience with family caregiving and loss to bring an empathetic, grounded voice to topics like grief, difficult conversations, self-worth, and resilience. We're looking for an experienced podcast producer to manage the full production process, from recording support through final distribution. About the show: The podcast explores the "tricky areas of life" — hard conversations, leadership struggles, grief, and self-worth — through a mix of Catherine's professional perspective, her personal story, and guest interviews. It's currently distributed on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart, TuneIn, and the firm's website. Tone is warm, reflective, and conversational rather than clinical or sales-driven — think heartfelt storytelling with an expert's grounding, not a typical law-firm marketing podcast. What we need help with: Recording support: Guidance on setup/best practices for a [remote / in-person / hybrid — TBD, default: hybrid, since episodes often include outside guests] recording workflow; may include live-directing sessions or troubleshooting during recording Editing: Full audio editing (noise cleanup, pacing, intro/outro, music), plus [video editing if we move to video — currently audio-only] Show notes & metadata: Writing episode descriptions, titles, and search-optimized show notes that reflect the show's reflective, story-driven tone (not legal-marketing copy) Distribution: Publishing to podcast platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart, TuneIn), RSS feed management, and scheduling releases. Promotional assets: Short social clips/cutdowns, audiograms, and quote graphics to help relaunch the show's audience Format: Audio-only (default — flag if you want to revisit video), approximately [weekly / biweekly — TBD, default: biweekly], episodes running [30–45 minutes — adjust as needed] What we're looking for: Experience producing narrative/interview-style podcasts with a personal, emotionally resonant tone (not just corporate/B2B) — this show is closer to a storytelling or wellness podcast than a typical legal-industry show. Strong audio editing skills (please share samples/portfolio, ideally something with a similar tone). Comfortable managing distribution logistics independently. Reliable turnaround time (please state your typical turnaround per episode). Bonus: experience with legal, financial, healthcare, or personal story/wellness podcasts Budget: [Fixed price per episode — TBD, easiest to compare across proposals] To apply, please answer the following: 1. Rate — your pricing in [per-episode / hourly / retainer] format 2. Experience — how many years producing podcasts, ideally with professional services or B2B clients 3. Time zone — so we can gauge overlap for live sessions and day-to-day communication 4. Turnaround time — typical days from raw recording to published episode 5. Samples — links to 2–3 podcasts you've produced or edited, ideally similar in tone/industry 6. Tools — software/platforms you work in (e.g., Descript, Hindenburg, Riverside, Buzzsprout) and whether they'd fit our setup 7. Distribution know-how — can you manage RSS feeds and publishing independently 8. Reliability signals — any reviews, references, or examples of ongoing (not just one-off) client relationships
