Radio producer
A radio producer oversees the making of a radio show. The job title covers several different job descriptions:
- Content producers or executive producers oversee and orchestrate a radio show or feature. The content producer might organize music choices, guests and callers for a talk radio show or competitions, timings and overall show content.
- Creative producers, imaging specialists or imaging producers produce audio content for the show, such as sound clips used on the show and "promo clips".
- The board operator or technical operator operates the technical controls—such as sound volume levels, recording software and switchboard. The producer can be in a separate control room separated from the radio studio by a window, which allowed visual contact while blocking noise. With quieter switches and better directional microphones, the producer and the controls may be at the same table as the on-air talent without adding unwanted sound to the product.
