Novel has become one of Europe’s biggest independent audio production companies. We’ve produced chart topping podcasts for the likes of the BBC, iHeartRadio, Wondery, Audible, Formula One, Google and The Premier League.

Our heartland is world-class longform narrative audio and documentaries but we make shows of all genres and are committed to pushing the boundaries of audio entertainment and storytelling.

As we begin working on our 10th season, we are looking for producers for Novel’s flagship strand “Sideways”, presented by Matthew Syed for BBC Radio 4. You’ll be producing one of Radio 4’s ideas shows, with documentary storytelling central to its approach, married with smart thinking. Sideways tells stories that depict an aspect of the world, told in a unique and counterintuitive way. We tell stories that resonate with people, that tell us about how peoples’ lives are affected by the thoughts and ideas that permeate our societies.

These part time producer roles are an opportunity to join a show which, over the past three years, has established itself as a successful strand on BBC Radio, where it can be heard in a high profile slot on Radio 4, as well as in the podcast space. We have built a reputation for stories told with head and heart, tightly structured narrative and stunning sound design.
