Interns
Our interns are often the unsung members of any radio team. An internship with the program is an inside look into the inner workings of a daily radio show. Interns conduct research, pull audio, pitch story ideas, do pre-interviews, update the website, learn to edit audio, and more! Many of our interns have gone on to full time jobs in public radio.
