SAA’s podcast is looking to add two Producers to its team. Archives in Context—now in its eighth season and sponsored jointly by the Publications Board, American Archivist Editorial Board, and Committee on Public Awareness—hosts dynamic conversations with archivists contributing to the archival literature, to SAA and the profession, and to public access and awareness of archives. The podcast team—made up of a project coordinator, five co-hosts, three producers, and SAA staff—release around five to six episodes annually.

Producers reach out to interviewees, coordinate general scheduling, create the first draft of interview questions, make sure all website materials are received/drafted (photos, blurbs), contribute to editing episodes, and send final files to SAA staff as well as keeps interviewees abreast of episode draft and publication.

All candidates should have excellent project management and people skills and be an SAA member. Previous podcasting experience is preferred. The time commitment is about 5-10 hours per month.
