Podcast Producer

Big Picture

We’re looking for a highly motivated and organized Podcast Producer to lead the production of our new upcoming podcast “What Happens Next… The Dhar Mann Podcast” from concept to release.

About the Podcast: Hosted by Dhar Mann, What Happens Next… is a thought-provoking podcast that dives into personal turning points and pivotal life decisions. Each episode features a guest who opens up about a transformative moment in their life—what happened before, during, and after—and the lessons they learned along the way. It’s raw, inspiring, and sometimes shocking. The goal? To challenge assumptions, expand empathy, and show that no one’s journey is perfect… but it’s always worth listening to.
