Look, most media companies will tell you they're "a powerhouse." We actually are one.
The Kim Komando Show reaches millions of people every week across 500+ radio stations, SiriusXM, popular newsletters like The Current, a growing YouTube channel, and a podcast network that keeps expanding. Our audience? Everyday Americans who want to live smarter and safer in a world that changes faster every day. We give them exactly that.
MUST LIVE IN PHOENIX/SURROUNDING AREA!
Now we're looking for an Executive Producer who can help keep that engine running.
What You'll Actually Do
This isn't a "manage the calendar and nod in meetings" job. You're steering editorial. You're making calls. You're the reason the show sounds sharp every single week.
Here's what that looks like day to day:
- Develop show topics and story ideas that connect tech to what people actually care about: their money, their safety, their family, their time
- Oversee scripts for broadcast and podcast production from first draft to final cut
- Write Daily Listener Hacks (DLHs), segment teases, and show notes people actually want to read
- Manage and support producers so everything runs on time and on point

- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment where things change quickly and that's just Tuesday
Why This Job Is Different
You won't be producing content that disappears into the void. Your work reaches millions of real people every single week. People who take action because of what they heard on the show. That's not nothing. That's everything.
You'll wear multiple hats, pitch ideas that actually get made, and work alongside a team that genuinely loves what they do. No corporate bloat. No investor nonsense. Just a passionate crew building something that matters.
If you're organized, creative, and ready to help shape how America understands technology, we want to hear from you.
We'd say this job will keep you on your toes. But really, you'll be so busy producing great content, you won't have time to sit down anyway.
Come for the career. Stay for the dad jokes.
