My name is Rose Reid. I’m a podcast host and executive producer.

I currently lead US Audio for Exile Content Studio. I’m in charge of our English-language podcasts and podcasts distributed in the US. Exile is the fastest growing media and entertainment company focused on the 550 million Spanish speakers worldwide. ​You can check out our podcasts (in English & Spanish) here.

I co-host Exile’s Flagship podcast, Shoot the Messenger, distributed by PRX. We have been reporting on this show for two years before launching its first season, “Espionage, Murder & Pegasus Spyware” as a special collaboration withe the Committee to Protect Journalists. In a ten-episode series, we investigate the world’s most sophisticated spyware - Pegasus, the company that makes it, and the industry booming around it.

Formerly:

I hosted iHeartMedia’s The Women, a long-form interview show featuring brazen and badass women - some you already know, and others you should know (like Stacey Abrams, Katie Couric, Jewel, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngucka, and Josie Duffy Rice.) And I moderate and host conversations for the United Nations and UN Radio.

I ran my own production company, Arc Creative for six years — I have launched and produced big & niche projects for boutique brands & legacy institutions like Amazon Studios, Coca-Cola, Ernst & Young, Dean & DeLuca, & LIVELY.

In 2019, I lead an investigation into the criminal case of rapper Meek Mill for the Roc Nation / Amazon five - part documentary series, Free Meek.

I am a seventh-generation Georgian, and have covered the south for my own series, profiling women integral to Georgia’s Senate Runoff Elections, and reported on the intersection of foodways and family histories for the James Beard award-winning podcast Gravy.

I am an alumni of Gimlet Media and Ogivly & Mather. Prior to my producer days, I was a waitress and worked in local non-profit radio stations, like WRBH 88.3 FM in New Orleans. 

I’m a big believer that no, there are not enough podcasts and that yes, podcast advertising is ready for a big change. I am fluent in the ad world from my mad men days at Ogilvy and make custom ads for my own work (like my dad talking about raising kids who have periods and my grandma recalling why she missed school to see Frank Sinatra, and yes, I tie those anecdotes back to products like subscription tampons or weightless concealer.)

I made a music-nostalgia podcast, Details Please with my mom, and we interviewed family favorites like the Indigo Girls and Mel Brooks. (We even talked to Mel Brooks on the phone for an hour and we are still high from it. Mel schooled me on how to deliver a joke.) We did a live show about how Tony Bennett can save both an old, almost-deaf octogenarian (we miss you, grandma) and a millnennial-ish strung out on another f$ckboi.

My work has been featured by NPR One, Amazon Music, Apple’s New & Noteworthy, Marie Claire, Hot Pod, Thrillist , Variety, and The Atlantic. I have collaborated with Science Vs several times and I have done segments for the BBC, Burnt Toast, and Maeve in America. I have consulted for organizations and brands like the United Nations, Harper Collins, IBM, and SiriusXM.
