Eveleth started as a blogger and producer for The Doppler Effect, a weekly science show.{{cite web|url=http://dopplereffect.weebly.com/rose-eveleth.html|title=Rose Eveleth|publisher=The Doppler Effect|access-date=16 November 2019 |language=}} They spent five years as the Podcast Editor for Story Collider,{{cite web |title=Saying Goodbye to Our Podcast Editor & Welcoming Another |url=https://www.storycollider.org/news/2016/10/6/story-collider-says-goodbye-to-our-podcast-editor-welcomes-another |website=The Story Collider |date=11 October 2016 |access-date=16 November 2019}} a non-profit group dedicated to true, personal stories about science.

In 2013, together with Bora Zivkovic and Ben Lillie, Eveleth co-founded Science Studio, a first-of-its-kind project to collect multimedia stories about science in the manner of annual "year's best" compilations of reported and written stories.{{cite web|url=https://undark.org/tracker/very-cool-science-studio/|title=A Very Cool Science Studio|author=Blum, Deborah|publisher=Undark|date=18 January 2013|access-date=16 November 2019 |language=}} From 2015 to 2022, they were a podcast host and producer for Flash Forward, a podcast about possible and not so possible futures.{{cite web|url=https://kk.org/cooltools/rose-eveleth-podcast-producer/|title=Rose Eveleth, Podcast Producer|publisher=CoolTools|date=3 August 2018|access-date=16 November 2019 |language=}}{{Cite web |last=Dobija-Nootens |first=Nic |date=2019-10-31 |title=Flash Forward: The Podcast That Takes the Future Seriously |url=https://podcastreview.org/review/flash-forward/ |access-date=2022-07-21 |website=Podcast Review |language=en-US}}

On the occasion of Eveleth's MJ Bear Fellowship in 2016, the selection committee commented:

"Straddling the bright horizon between science and science fiction, Fast Forward is an engaging and informative podcast about how we live in and imagine the future. As creator and host of this solo project, Rose is not just shaping an imagined future, but [their] own. With Flash Forward [they have] shown creativity and flair, packaged with deep reporting, thoughtful engagement, and smart questioning. Most notably, among the gifts Rose offers journalism is imagination and a long view into the future."

In 2014, Eveleth was among those who criticized scientist Dr. Matt Taylor’s choice of attire during a progress report on the Rosetta comet mission.{{Cite web |last=Oakes |first=Kelly |date=2014-11-13 |title=People Have A Lot To Say About The Scientist Who Wore A Shirt Covered In Half-Naked Women During The Comet Landing |url=https://www.buzzfeed.com/kellyoakes/comet-landing-scientist-shirt |access-date=2024-12-27 |website=BuzzFeed |language=en-gb}} Dr. Taylor wore a shirt featuring images of scantily clad women with firearms, which some, including Eveleth, claimed was inappropriate for the occasion and reflective of broader issues of sexism in STEM fields. Eveleth commented on Twitter that the apparel choice was “sexist and ostracizing,” detracting from the scientific achievement.{{cite web | url=https://time.com/3589392/comet-shirt-storm/ | title=How to Turn a Cool Moment into a #ShirtStorm | date=November 17, 2014 }} The criticism sparked widespread debate,{{Cite web |last=Duhaime-Ross |first=Arielle |date=2014-11-13 |title=I don't care if you landed a spacecraft on a comet, your shirt is sexist and ostracizing |url=https://www.theverge.com/2014/11/13/7213819/your-bowling-shirt-is-holding-back-progress |access-date=2024-12-27 |website=The Verge |language=en}} which concluded with Dr. Taylor issuing a public apology.{{cite web | url=https://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/nov/14/rosetta-comet-dr-matt-taylor-apology-sexist-shirt | title=Rosetta scientist Dr Matt Taylor apologises for ‘offensive’ shirt | website=The Guardian | date=14 November 2014 }}

In 2019, the Swedish podcasting startup Acast included Flash Forward among the ad-free shows it features for a small charge.{{cite web|url=https://www.niemanlab.org/2016/06/acast-wants-to-get-new-audiences-in-the-podcast-door-with-more-diverse-shows-and-better-data/|title=Acast wants to get new audiences "in the podcast door" with more diverse shows and better data|author=Wang, Shan|publisher=NiemanLab|date=24 June 2016|access-date=17 November 2019 |language=}}
