Company Description:

Founded in 1994, Making Contact produces RADIO AND PODCASTS that analyzes critical issues and showcases grassroots solutions in order to inform and inspire audiences to action. We are proud of our 25 years of independent nonprofit broadcasting, our national distribution, and that from the start, we have asked how our storytelling and journalism could accompany grassroots movement-building by our communities.

At this critical juncture in our organization’s growth, Making Contact seeks a visionary and strategic leader to provide creative, collaborative, and effective organizational leadership. To lead this organization, you will need passion, practical grit and know-how, and a belief in the possible. 

The organization’s core focus is an award-winning, 29-minute weekly documentary-style public affairs program heard on 151 radio stations in the USA, Canada, and Australia. Making Contact’s weekly shows feature the stories of indigenous people, immigrants, imprisoned people and others as they seek solutions to critical issues like police brutality, ensuring women’s reproductive health, LGBTQ liberation and racial justice. 

Making Contact has been a learning laboratory for many in the fields of journalism and social justice — with staff and freelance producers often translating their Making Contact experience into positions at larger media organizations or community groups. The nonprofit also currently provides fiscal sponsorship services to mission-related projects and has started to offer fee-for-service support to groups in the creation of their own podcasts. 

Making Contact is a dynamic organization, ever-evolving with plenty of room to grow. The field of radio journalism and podcasting is changing quickly, and you will have the opportunity to test new possibilities in podcasting, audience engagement, and more, while still benefiting from the organization’s 25-year infrastructure, history and reputation.
