Company Information

Talk Show Production interns assist CT Public Radio producers in the production and development of our flagship daily shows and  weekly programs (Where We Live, Colin McEnroe Show, Audacious, The Wheelhouse, and Disrupted.)  A learning environment might include work with producing, writing, and editing for live and pre-taped shows, either fully virtual or on-site. These shows are interactive, combining interviews, listener call-ins, email, and social media and topics range from current events, politics, social trends, and the arts.  Several shows are also podcasts, where interns will have the ability to produce fully digital shows.
The Content Team and CT Public's Storytelling and Originals Team provides training in website production, audio production, radio continuity, and remote recording. Interns can expect to observe and take part in live and taped broadcasts. As the internship progresses, training in news production, feature writing and show production is also possible.  Interns can expect to work a maximum of 20 hours per week. Individual scheduling and days/times of work can be negotiated with the applicable Manager.  Interns are all paid bi-weekly and must complete Timecards. All interns are required to attend a Newcomer's Orientation/Onboarding, scheduled for their first day.
