The Dispatch stands out as a platform for thoughtful coverage, respectful dialogue, and a wildly engaged community of paying members. We bring a perspective—we’re right-of-center—but we’re fiercely independent, standing apart from media outlets increasingly engaged in partisan boosterism. Started in 2019 by Steve Hayes and Jonah Goldberg, The Dispatch has filled a valuable gap in the media ecosystem as covered in the New York Times, Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, and other publications.

The Dispatch is seeking a Senior Producer to help with the next phase of growth for the company’s podcast and multimedia portfolio, including Advisory Opinions, The Dispatch Podcast and The Remnant, as well as the launch of new shows and video formats.

We are looking for an experienced editorial show producer with deep experience in podcasting, show development, editorial structure, and news-driven programming. The right candidate should know how to sharpen an idea, shape an episode, prepare hosts, improve structure and pacing, develop recurring segments, give useful notes, and turn promising concepts into repeatable formats. We’re looking for someone who has helped develop, launch, run, or improve editorial shows.

The ideal candidate will have experience working in a role steering editorial content on news-related podcasts or video programming. Candidates do not need to be equally fluent across audio and video, but they should bring strong expertise in at least one medium, ideally podcasting, and familiarity with the other. They should also have an understanding of how to adapt shows across audio feeds, YouTube, social media, and live events.
