Message Heard – podcast production company

Recruitment closed

Project title: Message Heard - podcast production company

Application deadline: 10th October 2025

Date of placement: November - flexible

Sector: Private sector

Whether it’s creating our own investigative shows such as Finding Natasha, winning the True Crime BPA for our show The Catch, or working with charities and media companies to create shows like the ARIA nominated Power Lines, Message Heard tells stories with purpose. Our podcasts focus on what others miss; they are driven by powerful characters with complex motivations. Everyone has a story to tell — but how do you tell it in a way that really resonates?

We currently have several placement opportunities for PhD students from a range of disciplinary backgrounds. Each role offers the opportunity to get a unique look behind the scenes of a podcast production company, where you will work closely with industry experts to create award-winning shows. We aim to provide you the opportunity to get involved in every stage of the production process from start to finish.

These placements are offered on a full-time basis for three months and can be done remotely or in-person at our office in Finsbury Square. Please submit your application here by 10 October with an anticipated start date in November, but this can be flexible based on the individual circumstances of the candidate. Please email keiran@messageheard.com with any inquiries.
