We live in an age of rampant misinformation and polarization. Problems compounded by media companies largely focused on clicks and eyeballs instead of depth and nuance. Companies too often obsessed with turning a profit, defending party orthodoxy, or simply avoiding controversy.

Truths that matter to the most vulnerable members of our society.

The Role:

Lost Debate is seeking a freelance bilingual podcast producer. This person would edit and help produce a weekly Spanish-language podcast that will be launched by the end of September. They will also be asked to sub in for the audio producers when one of them is not available. Although for now we can only offer a freelance opportunity, there’s a possibility this could turn into a full-time position.

Responsibilities & Qualifications: 

  • Solid written and verbal communication skills in Spanish and English.
  • Edit podcasts in Spanish and English.
  • High attention to detail and ability to consistently meet or exceed deadlines.
  • Self starter and quick learner who will take initiative and finish tasks to completion.
