What a Podcast Manager Actually Does

Podcast management can feel mysterious. Are we editors? Assistants? Producers? A bit of everything?

Here’s the clear version.

1. Editing your audio and video

This is the basics. Clean sound, smooth cuts, removing distractions, adding your music, intro and outro.

Quality matters because listeners switch off fast.

2. Uploading and scheduling episodes

No more last minute rushes. A podcast manager handles your host platform, titles, descriptions and scheduling.

3. Show notes

Good show notes help your audience and improve discoverability.

They also make repurposing easier.

4. Content repurposing

Audiograms, clips, social posts, newsletters.

One episode can become 5–10 pieces of content.

5. Guest management

Emails, scheduling, reminders, assets, thank you notes.

This alone saves hours every month.

6. A calmer workflow

You record.

I take it from there.

That’s the whole point of hiring a podcast manager.

If you’re juggling a business, a family or multiple offers, having someone handle the podcast side keeps things consistent without draining your time.
