CPR’s Classical Host / Producer hosts regular weekly air-shifts, including on-air fill-in shows. You’ll announce and produce content in a way that is listener-focused, engaging, personable, timely, and topical about classical music and local cultural connections. The CPR Classical Host / Producer delivers quality public radio through curating classical music, stories and produced content. You will regularly create content for broadcast and digital (e.g., fundraising, web, production and participating in live on-air fundraising).

The new hire is expected to reside in the greater Denver metro area upon starting - this is not a remote position. However, a hybrid schedule is available that requires a minimum of 3 days in the office each week. 

You have a general knowledge about classical music, with a curiosity that drives you to keep discovering more. You stay current on classical music news, events, and issues, and you’re recognized for your storytelling, communication skills, and engaging presence. You are familiar with producing audio and digital content. You have a great ability to articulate what is distinctive about your personal insights on music. Adaptable and open to new ideas, you adjust to changing needs while staying results-focused, organized, and committed to high standards. You’re also a thoughtful listener who values collaboration and problem-solving.

• Knowledge of classical music and composers.
• Experience with music curation, connecting playlists and themes.
• Ability to deliver memorable and succinct stories (both verbally and for web articles).
• Ability to communicate clearly, articulate thoughts effectively and engage with listeners.
• General PC computer competency and experience with audio and video editing software.
