Executive Producer: Executive producers are the ultimate decision-makers for all aspects of a podcast’s production and delivery. They’re problem-solvers, responding to the inevitable snags that come up, and they manage the production schedule—both on a day-by-day basis, and in terms of season planning. The EP also manages the relationships between folks on the production team and helps define their individual responsibilities. They work with the host and writers to develop reporting approaches, and as the person who works most closely with the host, the EP oversees script development and directs the host during recording sessions. They also manage budgets.

Marketing Director: They are responsible for prospecting new podcast guests. In order to enhance a podcast brand, guests should be industry experts, thought leaders, or “boots on the ground” practitioners in your industry. You want each guest to be full of valuable experience and wisdom that will be helpful for your audience. The quality of your guest list will ultimately determine the quality of your content, so finding the right guests is a crucial part of the podcasting equation. In addition, the marketing director will manage all public relations including press releases and social media.
