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.

• 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

⏳ Scope & Hours

• This is a part-time role to start: ~5–10 hours per week
