Modern Wisdom, Austin, TX, US, 78716
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.
