About The Sound of Young America & MaximumFun.org<\/p>\n
The Sound of Young America is a public radio show about things that
are awesome, distributed by Public Radio International. Past guests
on the show have included Terry Gilliam, Bob Odenkirk & David Cross,
The Flaming Lips, Built to Spill, Chuck D, Killer Mike, Devin the
Dude, They Might Be Giants, Patton Oswalt, Elmore Leonard, the
creators of the television series Veronica Mars, Stella and Battlestar
Galactica and others. MaximumFun.org also produces a number of
succesful podcasts, including the podcast of The Sound of Young
America, the talk show Jordan, Jesse GO!, and the comedy series Coyle
& Sharpe: The Imposters and The Kasper Hauser Comedy Podcast. Also,
we blog.<\/p>\n
We’re looking for a student with an active interest in the arts &
culture, including “indie” popular music, books, television, film,
comedy and so on.<\/p>\n
Internships<\/p>\n
The Sound of Young America is happy to capitalize on the vast
potential of our nation’s young people — specifically, the vast
potential of them to work for us for free. To further that end, we
offer a comprehensive internship program, welcoming a student each
academic semester to slave and study at our feet. (Not literally, you
will get your own desk.)<\/p>\n
Students must commit to 24 hours per week in the summer, and 20 hours
per week in the winter or spring, working in our office in Los
Angeles’ Koreatown. We prefer students who will receive academic
credit for their work. (This work incentive is our best legal
substitute for our preferred arrangement, indentured servitude.)
Interns should expect to work actively and directly in the production
of The Sound of Young America, as well as the rest of our media
empire.<\/p>\n
Dates & Deadlines<\/p>\n
We offer three internship periods, each approximately 3 months in
length. The Fall period runs roughly from September through December,
the Winter\/Spring period from January through May, and the Summer
period from June through August. We can make some provision for
varying academic schedules as neccessary.<\/p>\n
The Application Deadline for the fall period is August 3rd. For the
Spring\/Winter period it is November 15th. For the summer period it is
February 15th. Decisions will be made within four weeks.<\/p>\n
Application<\/p>\n
Please provide a resume, along with two references, as well as a cover
letter not longer than 500 words describing why you are interested in
the position. Please also (briefly) list any experience you may have
in radio, film\/tv\/internet broadcasting, or other journalism, as well
as what skills you have with a computer and whether you have any
experience editing video or audio.<\/p>\n
Please submit this information in Microsoft Word format AND in the
body of an email to: internships@maximumfun.org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
