Available to hire
Hi, I’m Myron Kaplan, a Pasadena-based podcast producer and audio editor with over a decade of experience shaping stories for daily news, culture, and music programs. I edit and mix audio for Talkhouse and a network of podcasts, handling editing, scripting, sound design, and delivery to create engaging listening experiences. I’m comfortable working across fast-paced teams and varied formats, always focused on clear storytelling and technical polish.
My work spans LA nightlife projects, national news podcasts, and long-running shows like Trumpcast and Hang Up and Listen. I mentor junior producers, help design editorial workflows, and collaborate with hosts to elevate interviews and narratives, from concept through final mix.
