Internship, Co-op or Research Site: iHeart Media | Title of Your Position: Kane Show Intern

Major(s)/Minor(s): Media and Communication Studies

Expected Graduation Year: May 2016

Briefly describe your internship, co-op, research, or service-learning opportunity, including your day-to-day tasks, responsibilities, and assignments.

I interned at "The Kane Show", a popular morning radio program on HOT 995 in DC, and 104.3 in Baltimore. I worked directly with the show's producer, Erick, as well as the cast, including Kane, Danni, and Intern John. I edited broadcasts to be syndicated around the country, online podcasts and segments for iHeart Radio, and helped produce segments alongside Erick and my fellow interns. Also I grabbed a few coffees and breakfasts, which is fine because I got some too.

Describe the process of obtaining your internship, research, or co-op opportunity.

I got in touch with Erick through the station's website, and had known him prior to starting my internship in the fall.

Which of the following resources did you use to find your current experience?

HOT995 website

What have you enjoyed the most about your position or organization/company?

Having fun. Being with a group of creative, fun-loving, and out-going people was probably a much more loose working environment than most internships college students can have. The radio industry is full of characters, and they encourage you to be friendly, confident, and make connections. I left The Kane Show with friends, memories, as well as professional connections. And a job! I now work in the promotions department.
