Student Assistant Podcast Producer

Student Assistant Podcast Producer

Working at the UvA

 “Podcast on Law and Politics of Prosperity and the Good Life”

The podcast moves beyond dry policy talk by showing how European Union rules directly shape the quality of daily life and local communities. By connecting law, politics and economics to real-world struggles like the cost of living and the green transition, the project makes complex EU decisions feel personal and urgent. Hopefully we can help address that many people feel left behind (or at least are highly indifferent to) European integration. The podcast will offer a space to discuss what a prosperity will actually look like. Instead of just reporting on new EU policy, the show explores how those laws determine who wins and who loses in the modern European economy.

The producer helps prepare the content of individual episodes, schedules and organizes recordings, provides feedback and evaluation of individual episodes (also with an eye to accessibility), supervises the editing process and coordinates marketing and promotion of episodes.
