Podcast editorial and production management

Editorial direction and production coordination for organizations making a defined podcast season or a continuing show. Bring episode planning, contributors and release work into an arrangement your team can sustain.

↪︎ Each episode needs a clear reason to exist and someone to carry it through production.

Give the show an editorial home.

A conversation is one part of an episode. Before recording, someone needs to establish its purpose, prepare the host and contributors, and decide what listeners should take from it. Afterward, the work continues through editing, review, publication and supporting materials.

Kuhns, Inc. helps hold that editorial direction across the agreed production process. The scope connects the people making the show with the decisions and deadlines that get each episode ready to release.

For an organization producing a defined run of episodes.

Podcast season production

Develop the editorial plan and manage production for an agreed season. Establish the episode assignments, preparation requirements, contributor handoffs and release schedule with the people responsible for the show.

Receive a season plan, working episode materials and production coordination through the agreed releases. Scripts, transcripts, supporting copy and promotional adaptations can be included in the defined scope.

Most useful when: the show has a clear purpose and a bounded run of episodes that needs editorial and production ownership.

For a continuing show that needs consistent oversight.

Ongoing podcast editorial and production management

Maintain the editorial direction and coordinate the recurring work of producing the show. Support episode development, review and contributor coordination while keeping the release plan aligned with the team’s capacity.

Receive continuing editorial oversight and management of the agreed production responsibilities, with regular decisions and outstanding work documented for the team.

Most useful when: a show is established and needs sustained coordination across hosts, guests, editors and the organization publishing it.

Build from a real production arrangement.

Prior work available on request. Each new engagement starts by identifying who already owns each part of the show and where support is needed. Recording, editing and publishing responsibilities are agreed as part of that scope.
