Podcast Editor Needed — 2 Episodes by May 31 (Audio + Video) - Riverside.FM

We're launching a new business podcast called 120 Octane — interviews with founders and operators who built AI systems that actually work. We've recorded our first two episodes and need a podcast editor to take them from raw Riverside files to polished, ready-to-publish episodes. Timeline: Both episodes edited and finalized by May 31, 2026. Episode 1 first, Episode 2 second. About the show: 30-40 minute interview format. Two co-hosts plus one guest per episode. Conversational tone. Think Lenny's Podcast or My First Million for production quality. What you'll receive: Raw Riverside.fm exports — separate audio and video tracks for each speaker, recorded locally (high quality). Plus an intro music bed and host-recorded voiceover intro. What we need from you per episode: Audio editing: noise reduction, level balancing, removing filler words, awkward pauses, and any flubs Video editing: multi-camera cuts between speakers, sync audio to video, basic color correction Add intro music and voiceover (assets provided) Add lower thirds for guest name/title at intro Add outro with call to action Identify 3-5 short clips (60-90 seconds each) suitable for LinkedIn and YouTube Shorts Deliver final episode as MP3 (audio) and MP4 (video, 1080p) Deliver clips as vertical MP4s (9:16) with captions burned in What we're looking for: Proven podcast editing experience — please share 2-3 examples of full episodes you've edited Comfortable working with Riverside.fm exports Experience editing both audio and video podcasts (interview format) Clean, broadcast-quality output Native English speaker preferred (you'll need to catch verbal flubs and pacing issues) Available to start this week and committed to the May 31 deadline Bonus skills: Captions/transcript generation Show notes drafting Experience with Descript Motion graphics for clip animations To apply, please include: Two links to podcast episodes you've fully edited (audio or video) Your rate (per episode or hourly — we're open to either) Your turnaround time for one episode Confirmation you can deliver both episodes by May 31 If this goes well, we'll move into an ongoing relationship for 2 episodes per month.
