Creatively Contenting Podcast Management is one year old this week! And I am so grateful for the last year. I\u2019ve always been the kind of person who needs to enjoy their work and feel passionate about what they do. I didn\u2019t always know that podcast management was going to give me this job satisfaction but since becoming a podcast manager I can confirm it certainly has.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But how does one become a podcast manager? I will talk about my journey from commerce student to podcast manager.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a podcast manager\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

A podcast manager is responsible for supervising the complete process of podcast creation, from idea development to production to promotion. The podcast manager will also look at big picture planning and the growth of the podcast.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My background in media\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

When I was in school I found it very challenging to decide what I wanted to do with my life. Podcast management didn\u2019t even come into the equation. I don\u2019t even think it was a profession at that time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After some time I eventually settled on studying commerce international. I thought it seemed like a pretty solid foundation for whatever I might eventually do. On completion I didn\u2019t really see myself going into the corporate world so I decided to do a masters in journalism. This is when I found my passion- audio. I\u2019d always loved listening to the radio but never thought it was possible to actually work in. I thought people on the radio were celebrities and I definitely was not.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I picked up editing much faster than I thought I would and adored our assignments making short radio documentaries. I loved the idea of giving people the opportunity to share their story and making it sound amazing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After college I worked in various jobs in radio and print journalism. I also spent some time working in a media production company. My time in radio taught me so much more about radio production and I actually got the opportunity to produce a current affairs show. The show was nominated for a national radio award during my time working on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My partner and I decided to move to Canada in January 2020 where I was ready to start at the bottom of the media pecking order again and try to find myself a job when the COVID pandemic hit. I got a job in finance and settled into the pandemic, not really thinking about my career. I was just happy to have an income at the time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How I became a podcast manager<\/span><\/h2>\n

Throughout COVID I worked completely remote. I noticed some friends working from different locations in Europe and in Canada. As we neared the end of our Canadian visa and wanted to travel a bit I realised we could do the same. I just had to figure out what kind of job I could do. That\u2019s when I thought about freelancing. I realised there were people online who needed their podcasts edited. I put posts up on <\/span>Fiverr<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Upwork<\/span><\/a> and started getting jobs immediately. I paused both of my accounts until I was ready to fully commit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We travelled to Mexico with a view to travel slowly and to work online. At first I was looking for anything to do with writing and podcast editing. But then it struck me. I could combine all of my skills together and start managing podcasts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Podcast management is where business and journalism meet and I was skilled in both of those fields. And bonus points, I was a radio producer too. As soon as I started focusing on promoting my podcast management offering on Fiverr people got in touch. This just fueled me to invest more in my business and expand my podcast management packages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I launched my website and started targeting my audience by posting valuable and useful content on social media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What I like about being a podcast manager<\/span><\/h2>\n

As I mentioned above I love my job as a podcast manager. And I love owning my own business. These are my favourite things about them both:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
