Podcast Coordinator

Dream Three is a production company founded by an award‑winning filmmaker and a Broadway actor. We create high‑impact, mainstream stories that awaken consciousness and drive cultural change. Our projects span mediums and genres including scripted and unscripted content, podcasts, music, theater and live events, publishing, and immersive experiences. About The Podcast A new pop‑culture podcast hosted by a Broadway leading man and a beloved sci‑fi voice icon. Through candid conversations, special guests, and behind‑the‑scenes stories from show business and fandom, the show entertains, inspires, and champions friendship. We record in‑studio, on the road, and at live events such as San Diego Comic‑Con. Role Overview We are seeking a hyper‑organized, proactive Podcast Coordinator who will own the production process end‑to‑end—covering booking, confirmations, releases, file management, publishing, and quality control—so the team can focus on content and growth. What Success Looks Like Every recording is confirmed, technically prepared, and calendared at least two weeks in advance. Files, trackers, and metadata are updated within 24 hours of each session or release. Hosts, guests, and editors always know timelines and next steps. Key Responsibilities Guest + Scheduling Ops Manage the booking pipeline: holds, confirmations, reschedules, and time zone coordination. Send calendar invites with agenda/run‑of‑show links. Maintain a robust database in Airtable of planned episodes and guest information, including research, media assets, and contact information. Ensure signed releases and technical confirmations are received ahead of the record. Production + Recording Session Support Setup, test, and operate recording equipment (microphones, cameras, lighting). Join sessions live to monitor recording, take time‑coded notes, and flag issues for the editor. Troubleshoot minor technical issues alongside the Producer. Support live podcast events, panels, and meet‑ups (run‑of‑show, check‑in, mic handoffs, etc.). Capture behind‑the‑scenes photos and videos for promotional use. Post‑Production Logistics Ingest and organize raw files, enforcing file taxonomy and naming conventions in Dropbox. Manage project deliverables in Descript/Frame.io. Route materials to editor/mixer and track statuses and deadlines in Asana. Publishing + QA Prepare metadata packages (titles, descriptions, tags, markers, and thumbnails) for review. Publish episodes per schedule to all platforms. Perform quality assurance: link checks, audio loudness, episode numbers, ad markers, and artwork. Confirm distribution and update trackers on the day of release. Social + Sponsor Support Deliver 10‑15 suggested clip selects with timecode per episode to Social within 48–72 hours of receiving the episode's first cut. Collaborate with the Social Media Manager to maintain the content calendar. Obtain required approvals from all decision makers. Track sponsor deliverables (reads, flightings, proof of performance) and archive proof of performance. Admin + Compliance Maintain Airtable/Asana dashboards with accurate status and checklist completion. Onboard vendors and route invoices; submit receipts to Finance. Manage E&O log, music cue sheets, and third‑party clearances. Keep the episode bible up to date (guests, topics, links, asset paths, usage rights). Tools You’ll Use Airtable, Asana, Slack, Google Workspace, Dropbox, 1Password, Riverside, Zoom, Descript, Adobe Premiere, Frame.io, Captivate.fm, Spotify for Podcasters, Apple Podcasts Connect, YouTube Studio. Role Requirements 1–3+ years in podcast/audio or content production coordination (or adjacent production office roles).
