What Is an Independent Podcast Producer/Editor?

An independent podcast producer/editor is a person who works for themselves producing podcasts for clients. They can do this full time or part-time. Most run their business and do all their work from home, but some do on-site work as well.

Full time podcast producers, if they are trained professionals, can develop a wonderful career and excellent income ($100k+). They don’t have to answer to any bosses and can make their own schedules. Of course this type of career comes with lot of responsibility to work hard, put in the time, continue developing professionally, talking with potential clients, etc.

Part-time podcast producers/editors typically have a separate day job (which is their main, dependable income source) and they produce podcasts on evenings and/or weekends to earn extra money.

Producing full time is a very rewarding career! I’ve been doing it since 2012 😉
