Job Description
I run an educational podcast channel and I am looking for a reliable, experienced podcast editor to work on a long-term weekly basis.
Each episode is 40–60 minutes of raw audio.
There are 4 episodes per week (sometimes 5).
This is a purely educational project (not commercial/business-driven), and the budget is fixed at $20 per episode.
That equals:
- $80 per week (4 episodes)
- $100 per week (5 episodes)
Please apply only if you can work within this budget. I will not be able to increase it.
⸻
Scope of Work (Per Episode)
You will receive raw audio files and selected music tracks (intro/outro/interval music).
Your responsibilities:
1. Audio Editing
- Clean editing (remove mistakes, pauses, filler words where appropriate)
- Smooth transitions
- Maintain natural conversational flow
2. Audio Enhancement
- Noise reduction
- De-essing
- EQ balancing
- Compression
- Mastering to professional podcast loudness standards (e.g., -16 LUFS stereo)
3. Music Integration
- Add intro music (already selected)
- Add outro music
- Insert short 2–3 second interval music every few minutes
- Add very light background music throughout (subtle, not distracting)
4. Waveform Graphics Creation
- Export final audio to Adobe After Effects
- Generate waveform animation graphics
- Export graphics to Premiere Pro
- Sync visuals with full episode duration
- Deliver final video file with audio + waveform graphics
Final Deliverables Per Episode:
- Final mastered audio file (MP3/WAV)
- Final video file (MP4) with waveform graphics
- Project files (if required)
⸻
Important Notes
- I can share 1–2 previous podcast episodes so you can clearly understand the style and quality I expect.
- Consistency is very important.
- Turnaround time should be reliable.
- Long-term collaboration preferred.
⸻
Requirements
Please apply only if you:
- Have previous podcast editing experience
- Can deliver studio-quality sound
- Have strong knowledge of:
- Adobe Audition / Audacity / similar DAWs
- Adobe After Effects
- Adobe Premiere Pro
- Can work within the fixed $20 per episode budget
- Provide sample work (audio + video preferred)
Applications without sample work will not be considered.
⸻
If this budget and workflow suit you and you have strong experience, I am happy to start with a trial episode and build a long-term working relationship.
Thank you.
