Producer (Audio)- The whole audio setup would definitely require an audio producer. This requires an expert who has background in media applications and all that nifty production work. An assistant producer might also be handy to help the audio producer in his or her work.
Producer (Web)- Producing the audio is exhausting in itself so there is also a need for a separate producer for the web activities of the said podcast.
Book Reviewers are also sometimes hired separately. These podcast jobs are quite compartmentalized and for ease of working, all jobs are made as specific as possible.
Marketing Manager is the one in charge of all marketing affairs of the podcast.

This also requires expertise in networking and possible training of marketing strategies especially in the online world.
Digital Audio Editors are also needed for final polishing of the entire production. Proper background such as experience in being a sound engineer is required for this sort of job. The more high technology the instruments used to digitize the production, the better.
