The day-to-day life of a typical podcast producer can include a range of different activities. Many people with careers in the podcast industry work as freelancers, so one working day may be very different to the next. People who produce podcasts will keep an eye on the news, pop culture, music, technology, sport, art, history or anything other topic which relates to the podcasts they are producing. They need to stay on the pulse to bring new ideas and content to their current venture, or to find an interesting idea for a new podcast. Research is an important aspect of podcast production, as is sourcing and interviewing guests. Creating and editing programmes, making audio and visual assets for promotion, pitching ideas to production companies, brands and/or networks such as the BBC, Global, Bauer, etc. These are all activities that someone working in the industry may be doing on a regular basis. There are many opportunities that may come your way if you build up a profile as a talented and reliable podcast producer - depending on the type of content you are known for, these could mean new projects coming your way without you needing to seek them out.
