Mia Lobel has spent two decades developing, producing, and editing some of the most acclaimed narrative and non-fiction podcasts in the industry. She brings that experience directly to your project — whether you're starting from a rough idea or need a creative overhaul on an existing show.
Her approach combines deep editorial instincts with a clear-eyed understanding of the current market: what networks are buying, what audiences want, and how to build something sustainable in a rapidly changing landscape.
What Mia Can Help With
Show Concept Development
From a rough idea to a fully realized show bible — Mia helps you define your format, find your voice, identify your audience, and build a concept that's both creatively compelling and market-ready.
Story Editing & Script Feedback
Detailed, honest, and constructive feedback on scripts, outlines, and rough cuts. Mia works with hosts and producers to sharpen storytelling, tighten structure, and make every episode as strong as it can be.
Pilot Development
Developing a pilot is one of the most important — and most difficult — parts of launching a show. Mia guides you through the process from first draft to finished episode, helping you make something you're proud to share.
Pitching & Market Strategy
Understanding where your show fits in today's crowded podcast landscape is essential. Mia helps you think strategically about your niche, your competition, and how to pitch your show to networks and distributors.
How It Works

Scoping & Proposal
Based on your needs, Mia puts together a clear proposal outlining the scope of work, timeline, and fees. Everything is tailored to your specific project.
Development & Feedback
The real work begins — iterative development sessions, script notes, creative calls, and ongoing feedback as your show takes shape.
Launch Ready
You leave with a show that's ready to go — or a clear roadmap for getting there. Mia's goal is always to set you up for long-term success.
"Revisionist History is the most beautiful thing I have ever been a part of. And it would all be impossible without Mia. I have never worked with anyone with her combination of energy and dedication and genius. We were all very lucky to have her as our ringleader."
— Malcolm Gladwell
"Mia is a wonder to work with. In all my many years as a journalist I have never come across an editor so talented, rigorous, and pleasant. She brought the germ of an idea for our podcast series to final product with ideas, an ear for authenticity, patience – and most important, deep knowledge of the market."
