Podcast Development | Narrative Strategy
Building audio with depth, intention, and institutional staying power.
Christine Job is a cultural theorist, oral historian, and audio documentarian who has spent six years building one of the most sustained independent oral history archives in the migration space. She brings that methodology — and the editorial, research, and strategic infrastructure behind it — to creators and institutions developing narrative audio.
This is not podcast coaching. It is audio documentary strategy rooted in oral history practice, narrative ethnography, and the understanding that the best audio is also primary research.
Who this is for
Creators developing narrative-driven podcasts with research depth and long-term IP potential.
Institutions and organizations: universities, foundations, NGOs, media companies — commissioning or developing audio documentary projects in the migration, diaspora, cultural intelligence, or social impact space.
Established podcasters whose show has outgrown its original format and needs editorial repositioning.
