Serial Productions, in collaboration with The New York Times Metro desk, is launching a new bi-weekly narrative podcast focused on New York City. The podcast will be accompanied by weekly editorial extensions — primarily social video, but also newsletters and live events — that share the sensibility of the show while standing alone as distinctive creative work. The Senior Multimedia Producer will lead the conception, production and evolution of these extensions, helping invent a distinctive visual language that translates Serial's narrative, character-driven stories about New Yorkers into social-first video and other formats that feel unmistakably of New York City.
