Watch drummer and electronic producer Shigeto play a set in NPR’s studios, and talk about how performing live makes him feel like Tony Hawk. It’s part of Intern Edition, a show completely written, reported and produced by NPR’s youngest and brightest.
We’re blushing.
Meet Corinne Cathcart and Annie Pruitt, our IE senior associate editors, both Washington Desk interns.
Stories told by the next generation of storytellers. This is Intern Edition. Coming Wednesday, August 8.
So, today on our Twitter (@NPRinterns), we challenged the PBS interns to a public broadcasting softball throwdown (in which we will be victorious). Also, DJ Kitty of the Tampa Bay Rays (see above video) tried to start a beef with our Intern Edition cat. All in a day’s work?
From Weekend Edition, Saturday intern Devon Kodzis: “It’s really important to pronounce all words correctly in radio programming. Sometimes before I get ready to do a pre-interview, I check my pronunciations. This is a really useful tool.”
Prepare yourself.
Today in “Meet the Intern,” we share a video, courtesy of All Things Considered, Opinions intern Gavin Bade. Gavin is studying Culture & Politics and Education Policy at Georgetown University. Here’s what he has to say:
“This is ‘Who’s Blues?’, which I always thought was ‘Whose Blues?’. It’s our band from back in Michigan called Tessa Perez and Hats. This is a song by Ms. Perez herself. As much as I’d like to claim otherwise, I have precious little to do with the creative process here. I’m just the Bari guy on the end. But I wanna spread the love for my friends because I think they’re great. Enjoy!”
You tell us: Cookie Monster’s “Share It Maybe” or Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe”?
