Studio Producer - Modern Wisdom (Austin, TX) Job at Modern Wisdom in Austin

Overview

Modern Wisdom — one of the world’s leading long-form podcasts exploring human behavior, philosophy, performance, and culture — is hiring a Studio Producer to manage live show capture, studio operations, and technical execution alongside the host.

Responsibilities

• Run the in-room technical setup for every podcast: multi-cam switching, audio levels, lighting, playback, and quality control
• Manage all studio hardware/software, including mics, interfaces, camera systems, switchers, monitors, recorders, lights, and livestream tools
• Collaborate closely with Chris (host) during sessions — anticipate what he needs, flag real-time guest issues, support smooth flow
• Support the host with research and prep for upcoming guests
• Provide real-time support during recordings, helping with quick facts, follow-ups, or context mid-conversation
• Log timestamps, notes, and clip moments live or immediately post-recording
• Back up, transfer, and organize files for post-production team
• Help maintain and upgrade the studio environment — equipment, layout, integrations, vibes
• Occasionally assist with on-location or remote tech setups as the show expands

What You’ll Bring (Qualifications)

• 3+ years of studio or livestream production experience (podcast, YouTube, radio, or similar)
• Expert-level understanding of audio and video hardware: XLR mics, multichannel audio interfaces, Blackmagic ATEM switchers, DSLRs/mirrorless cams, lighting rigs, etc.
• Strong proficiency in audio mixing, video switcher ops, live monitoring, and digital backups
• Zero ego, high initiative, fast thinker — you get sh*t done and solve problems before they happen
• Comfort in a high-performance environment with notable public figures and complex studio dynamics
• Comfortable on camera when needed, without making yourself the show
• Based in or willing to relocate to Austin, TX — this is an in-studio position, not remote

What You’ll Get

• Work on one of the top conversation podcasts in the world, with millions of monthly downloads and global reach
• Be a core part of a small, elite team building the next generation of thoughtful media
• Room to innovate, suggest improvements, and shape how the show looks and sounds
• Competitive salary and growth opportunities

If you’re the type of person who can walk into a studio and know exactly what cable is loose, which light angle isn’t working, and when to roll a clip without being asked, we want to meet you.
