“My internship not only gave me a glimpse into the radio world, but I was able to jump in head first and completely immerse myself in the inner workings of it. I was given the valuable opportunity to help produce a podcast, write radio broadcast stories, and use audio editing programs. I also received feedback from my supervisor that has helped me become a better reporter. I would have never learned these skills or been exposed to the behind-the-scenes of talk radio without my TFAS internship!”
