We are looking for a brilliant, culturally plugged-in content and journalism researcher to contribute to The Dan Le Batard Show. Your primary mission is to keep the talent and producers up to date with hard-hitting, thought-provoking topics. You are a “child of the internet” who deeply understands the unique, subversive tone of the show. Finding standard sports stats bore you. You want to uncover the bizarre, the hilarious, and the deeply human angles that fit our style.

Key Responsibilities

Show Preparation & In-Depth Research

  • Elevate Topics: Provide comprehensive, deep-dive research into major sports, culture, and entertainment stories to provide talent and producers with unique, high-level talking points.
  • Make Sports Smarter: Dig past standard headlines to uncover the underlying societal, political, or comedic angles that the show loves to dissect.
  • Internet Scavenger: Scan social media and obscure corners of the web to find viral or niche content that perfectly matches the show’s sensibilities.

Content & Guest Strategy

  • Evolve Show Segments: Suggest audience-grabbing, thought-provoking segments that can drive the daily conversation and create memorable radio/podcast moments.
  • Guest Recommendations: Identify and suggest compelling, unconventional guests—ranging from hard-hitting journalists to eccentric internet personalities—who can match the show’s energy.
  • Fact-checking and Context: Supply the production team with real-time facts, statistical anomalies, and historical context to add weight to the show’s daily debates.

Qualifications

  • Deep Show Knowledge: You must have a strong understanding of The Dan Le Batard Show’s editorial voice.
  • Child of the Internet: High digital literacy with a sharp eye for internet culture, memes, trends, and fast-moving online narratives.
  • Journalistic Instincts: Strong research skills with the ability to vet sources, find unique data points, and analyze information quickly under tight deadlines.
  • Sports & Culture: Comprehensive knowledge of both mainstream sports and the broader cultural landscape.
