A full time Host position at Hubbard, Chevy Chase MD, USA
WTOP is launching a new on-demand news podcast built for the way Washington consumes news: fast, current and constantly refreshed. Each 20-minute episode repurposes WTOP's award-winning news segments with a host providing connective tissue between stories. The podcast is updated once an hour, 6 AM to 7 PM, making it one of the most frequently refreshed news podcasts in the country. WTOP will be hiring two people to support the new podcast throughout the day. Each person will serve as host, editorial voice and producer of each episode (6-7 per shift) — deciding how stories are framed, sequenced and set up for a smart, time-pressed DC audience, as well as editing and publishing each episode to WTOP’s audio and video platforms.
