- Own end-to-end episode production from topic ideation through recording, editing, and publishing, ensuring a consistent cadence and high production quality
- Manage editorial planning — research protocol-based topics, coordinate with Bryan, Kate, and the physician to align on content, and maintain a forward-looking episode calendar that stays strategically relevant
- Manage and direct a freelance audio editor — briefing edits, maintaining quality standards, hitting turnaround timelines, and serving as the quality control checkpoint before any episode goes live
- Own distribution across all platforms (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and beyond), including metadata, show notes, timestamps, transcripts, and any LLM-optimized formatting that increases citability and discoverability
