S&B Podcast/Audio Editor

The S&B is Grinnell College’s independent, student-run newspaper, founded in 1894. We are an award-winning publication with a monthly readership of more than 75,000 students, alumni, faculty, staff, citizens of Grinnell and many others. In spring 2026, The S&B won the Iowa College Media Association Best Newspaper of the Year award for its 2025-2026 coverage. The S&B covers everything from breaking news to long-term investigative stories. Check out our website: thesandb.com.

The Podcast/Audio Editor:

• Creates the plan and vision for S&B audio content in collaboration with Editors-in-Chief
• Collaborates with S&B staff to illuminate stories through an auditory format, such as audio clips to accompany stories or an original podcast with regular episodes

• Records, edits, and publishes all audio content in professional and original style

• Coordinates opportunities for audio collaboration with other student-led groups at Grinnell, such as the weekly S&B Radio Hour on KDIC

We are looking to hire a student to lead The S&B's return to audio content! The Audio Editor will lead the creation of audio-focused content via YouTube and Spotify, meaning they will need to feel comfortable taking risks and working independently. Familiarity with audio recording and editing software is preferred, but anyone eager and curious to learn about audio production as they go is encouraged to apply. The audio editor should also be familiar with the content of The S&B.

The Audio/Podcast Editor is expected to work approximately 6 hours a week.

Preferred Qualifications: Possesses excellent time management, strong writing and communication skills, ability to work collaboratively with others, and uses independent judgement to create a final product.
