Gimlet

Producer, Mogul

Posted 184 weeks ago

A full time position at Gimlet, Brooklyn NY, USA

Gimlet Media tells stories that help listeners better understand each other and the world around them. Our roster of podcasts includes critically-acclaimed shows like Reply All, Science Vs, and Mogul. We’re seeking ambitious, talented, and kind people to join our team.

At Gimlet, we share a belief in working hard, embracing creativity, and supporting one another. People who tackle problems with creative solutions, and who love the energy of a collaborative, team-oriented creative process thrive here.

The Show

Mogul brings listeners the stories behind hip hop’s most iconic moments, told by the people who lived them. It features in-depth reporting and rich, layered sound design. The New Yorker called Mogul “essential listening” and Entertainment Weekly described it as a “fascinating examination of the hip-hop industry and the culture of fame, masculinity, and violence that lie at the genre’s center.” In Season 1, Mogul investigated the life and death of legendary hip hop executive Chris Lighty. Season 2 centered on 2 Live Crew, their fight for freedom of speech, and their complicated legacy.

The Job

The Mogul team will be a small and tight knit group. You’ll have an active role in every part of the production process including pitching stories, gathering tape, writing scripts and participating in intensive group edits. You’ll help coordinate sometimes-intense amounts of information. We’re looking for someone with an insatiable curiosity, who is passionate about finding great stories in the smallest of details, and crafting those stories in a collaborative environment. Someone who is organized, but willing to go off-script when the story leads them down a rabbit hole. And we’re looking for someone who can bring new ideas to the table when it comes to compelling ways to tell stories.

What You’ll Do
