Podcast Virtual Assistant – Guest Booking, Growth & Social Media Support
I host Where We Go Next, a long-form interview show featuring authors, scientists, founders, and creators. It’s a general-interest podcast, where each week’s conversation is shaped by the guest—covering everything from science and philosophy to culture and technology. I’m looking for part-time help from a thoughtful, reliable virtual assistant to grow the show. The first priority is booking high-quality guests, with future support focused on social media and audience growth.

What You’ll Help With (in priority order):
1.Guest Booking
• Research potential guests who align with the show’s themes
• Draft and send personalized outreach emails
• Schedule interviews using Calendly (my current workflow)
• Coordinate follow-ups and prep guests as needed
2. Show Growth
• Suggest podcast growth strategies or help implement ones you’ve seen work
• Brainstorm partnerships, outreach, or repurposing content for reach
• Help me track results or audience trends over time
3. Social Media Promotion
• Write and schedule episode promos for Instagram and X
• Repurpose quotes or ideas into posts
• Bonus: If you’re comfortable creating simple audiograms (I use Descript + Canva)
⸻
⏳ Scope & Hours
• This is a part-time role to start: ~5–10 hours per week
• May grow to 10–15 hours/week depending on results
• I’m open to your systems, but for now, I’d like to keep using Calendly and Google Docs for scheduling and planning
⸻
✅ Ideal Candidate Has:
• Excellent written English and professional communication skills
• Experience booking podcast guests, running outreach campaigns, or managing a show
• A proactive, curious approach — you notice opportunities and ask thoughtful questions
• Familiarity with tools like Descript, Canva, Instagram, and X (preferred, not required)
⸻
To Apply, Please Include:
• Your weekly availability
• A few sample outreach emails you’ve written — ideally ones that booked notable or hard-to-reach guests
• Anything else that shows you understand my show and how you could help move it forward
(Feel free to visit wherewegonext.com to get a sense of tone and guest style.)

This is a long-term role, and I’m looking for someone I can build with over time. If you’re thoughtful, resourceful, and love podcasts, I’d love to hear from you.
