Internship Program Duration: October 5th, 2026 - April 16th, 2027

Application Instructions: Applications close on Sunday, June 21st at 11:59 pm ET.

Intro to Position

NPR is seeking an intern to support its narrative, longform podcasting work with two award-winning podcast teams: The Sunday Story from Up First and The Indicator from Planet Money.

This internship is an opportunity to work with two different teams on all aspects of podcast production — assessing pitches, researching, booking and prepping interviews, tape gathering, writing and assembling drafts, editing audio, and scoring. You will be exposed to the podcast production process from start to finish — seeing episodes go from pitch to publish. This is a fun and demanding 6-month role as an active collaborator on two ambitious teams — 3 months will be spent with The Indicator from Planet Money and 3 months will be spent with The Sunday Story from Up First.

During the Indicator from Planet Money rotation, you will mostly work with the Indicator team, but you will get to see and participate in the full Planet Money suite of production across platforms. You’ll see how the team nerds out and chooses stories across two podcasts, a TikTok channel, a newsletter and broadcast. You can help us with some of it, maybe even all of it, if that’s what excites you. We make five short weekly podcasts on the Indicator, where every day is a dash to do the best we can, to find the smartest guests, the freshest insights, the most creative opening line. Planet Money makes two longer episodes a week and spends hours and hours in narrative editing mode honing the plot twists or perfecting the right audio mix to land a joke. Both shows take a lot of research, which we can always use help with. We’re experimenting with how to use video and are doing clips, so there’s plenty to pitch in with and learn on that front. We love to teach, and we’re looking for someone eager to learn by jumping into the various projects we have.

At The Sunday Story from Up First, you will have the chance to work with some of the best reporters and correspondents across NPR and our member stations. Each week on Sundays in the Up First podcast, we do a deep dive into a single story or topic. We work collaboratively with every desk in NPR’s newsroom to bring the best reporting to NPR’s largest news podcast audience. Our goal when we work with an intern is to provide them an opportunity to lead production on an episode from start to finish. So, by the end of the rotation with The Sunday Story team, you should have a lead producer credit on at least one episode of the show to add to your portfolio.

This is an NPR editorial role covered under the terms of the NPR Ethics Handbook.All editorial staff are bound by this guidance. Editorial staff is defined as staff members who play a role in shaping the journalistic or creative direction of NPR’s content, including events.

• Mix and score audio for episodes and promos
• Assist in fact-checking
• Give feedback on unfinished episodes in group edits
• Find archival tape for episodes
• Monitor team inboxes and social media accounts for feedback from listeners for ideas to pitch or feedback to heed.
• All work of the intern is to be performed under the close supervision of the host teams

The above duties and responsibilities are not an exhaustive list of required responsibilities, duties and skills. Other duties may be assigned, and this job description can be modified at any time.

• Excellent writing, research, and analytical skills.
• Knowledge of, or at least a keen interest, in economics and/or current events.

  • Tell us why Planet Money and The Sunday Story? How will this internship serve your longer-term career goals? If you don’t know what those are yet, be honest, and tell us how this internship will help you in general.

  • Show us your writing style and give us a sense that you listen to the shows.  Choose a recent episode or either podcast and imagine you had been in the pitch meeting for it. What would you personally based on your experience and knowledge and interests have proposed we add or change or remove from the episode and why? We deeply value constructive criticism. It’s a part of the job. Let us have it as you would on the job, which is to say, with kindness, care and actionable directness.

Internship Program Duration: October 5th, 2026 - April 16th, 2027

Application Instructions: Applications close on Sunday, June 21st at 11:59 pm ET.

Intro to Position

NPR is seeking an intern to support its narrative, longform podcasting work with two award-winning podcast teams: The Sunday Story from Up First and The Indicator from Planet Money.

This internship is an opportunity to work with two different teams on all aspects of podcast production — assessing pitches, researching, booking and prepping interviews, tape gathering, writing and assembling drafts, editing audio, and scoring. You will be exposed to the podcast production process from start to finish — seeing episodes go from pitch to publish. This is a fun and demanding 6-month role as an active collaborator on two ambitious teams — 3 months will be spent with The Indicator from Planet Money and 3 months will be spent with The Sunday Story from Up First.

During the Indicator from Planet Money rotation, you will mostly work with the Indicator team, but you will get to see and participate in the full Planet Money suite of production across platforms. You’ll see how the team nerds out and chooses stories across two podcasts, a TikTok channel, a newsletter and broadcast. You can help us with some of it, maybe even all of it, if that’s what excites you. We make five short weekly podcasts on the Indicator, where every day is a dash to do the best we can, to find the smartest guests, the freshest insights, the most creative opening line. Planet Money makes two longer episodes a week and spends hours and hours in narrative editing mode honing the plot twists or perfecting the right audio mix to land a joke. Both shows take a lot of research, which we can always use help with. We’re experimenting with how to use video and are doing clips, so there’s plenty to pitch in with and learn on that front. We love to teach, and we’re looking for someone eager to learn by jumping into the various projects we have.

At The Sunday Story from Up First, you will have the chance to work with some of the best reporters and correspondents across NPR and our member stations. Each week on Sundays in the Up First podcast, we do a deep dive into a single story or topic. We work collaboratively with every desk in NPR’s newsroom to bring the best reporting to NPR’s largest news podcast audience. Our goal when we work with an intern is to provide them an opportunity to lead production on an episode from start to finish. So, by the end of the rotation with The Sunday Story team, you should have a lead producer credit on at least one episode of the show to add to your portfolio.

This is an NPR editorial role covered under the terms of the NPR Ethics Handbook.All editorial staff are bound by this guidance. Editorial staff is defined as staff members who play a role in shaping the journalistic or creative direction of NPR’s content, including events.

• Mix and score audio for episodes and promos
• Assist in fact-checking
• Give feedback on unfinished episodes in group edits
• Find archival tape for episodes
• Monitor team inboxes and social media accounts for feedback from listeners for ideas to pitch or feedback to heed.
• All work of the intern is to be performed under the close supervision of the host teams

The above duties and responsibilities are not an exhaustive list of required responsibilities, duties and skills. Other duties may be assigned, and this job description can be modified at any time.

What would you personally based on your experience and knowledge and interests have proposed we add or change or remove from the episode and why? We deeply value constructive criticism. It’s a part of the job. Let us have it as you would on the job, which is to say, with kindness, care and actionable directness.

Join Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era.

The Opportunity

Internal communications at Multiverse isn’t a downstream function. It’s a strategic one.

You’ll own the story Multiverse tells itself — making sure every colleague understands who we are, why it matters, and where we’re going. That means shaping All Hands, advising the exec team, translating data into narratives people can actually repeat, and building the rhythms that keep colleagues informed week to week — not just when something big happens.

We operate in a fast-moving space with real external scrutiny. You’ll need to be a strong instinctive writer, calm under pressure, and confident enough to tell leadership what needs to be said and when. If you want to own the internal narrative of one of the most ambitious companies in the UK skills and AI space — this is the role.

Specifically, you will

• Own the canonical story Multiverse tells itself: maintain a living messaging framework that captures who we are, what we do, and why it matters, keeping it current as the business evolves

• Produce internal briefing materials ahead of major external moments like regulatory decisions, product launches, policy developments, so leadership is never scrambling and every Multiverser finds out what the need to know, first.

• Own the internal FAQ and “what to say if asked” resources that equip every colleague to be an informed and confident ambassador for the business

• Take editorial ownership of All Hands: theme, narrative arc, content commissioning, and speaker preparation, ensuring it consistently moves the needle on alignment and energy

• Support our Exec team with internal-facing communications - town halls, written updates, video messages - ensuring tone and content are consistent with our external narrative

• Build a rhythm of regular leadership communication that doesn’t only happen at All Hands, so colleagues feel informed week-to-week, not just quarter-to-quarter

• Own the content programme that tells the employee story: learner outcomes, team culture, career progression, mission moments, taking guidance and inspiration from the EVP and aligning with priority recruitment marketing campaigns where required

• Partner with the People team on key cultural moments so messaging is coherent and consistently on-brand

• Own and optimise our internal channels (Slack, intranet, email newsletters), deciding what goes where, at what frequency, and in what format, and build measurement into the channel strategy through open rates, engagement, and feedback loops

• Work hand-in-hand with Data & Insights and the wider Comms team to translate internal performance data into narratives that colleagues can understand, use, and repeat

• Build a simple framework for measuring whether internal comms is working — do people feel informed, do they understand the strategy, can they articulate the narrative — and report quarterly to the Director of Communications on channel health and narrative consistency

About you

• You embody the mission. You believe in equipping workers to win in the AI era, and you want every colleague to feel that purpose in how they show up at work

• You have hands-on experience leading internal communications in a fast-moving, complex organisation, and you’ve owned narrative, channels, and leadership comms

• You understand that internal comms is not a downstream function. You sit at the intersection of Data & Insights, Product, and external Comms

• You’re a strong, instinctive writer and editor, able to sharpen a leadership message, a town hall script, or a sensitive change announcement with equal confidence

• You know how to translate data into story: you can take customer ROI evidence, learner outcomes, or operational performance figures and turn them into something every Multiverser can articulate and believe in

• You’re fluent in AI tools and use them to move faster and think bigger, but you apply rigorous human judgement to everything that goes out under Multiverse’s name

• You’re calm and clear-headed under pressure: comfortable drafting sensitive internal communications in real time when external scrutiny spikes, and confident telling leadership what needs to be said and when

• You’re operationally strong on channels - Slack, intranet, email

• You partner well with senior leaders: you can hold your own in a room with the exec team, give honest counsel on tone and timing, and earn trust quickly

• You thrive in networked organisations, collaborating fluidly with People, Product, Tech, Data & Insights, and the wider Comms team

• You see All Hands and leadership comms as strategic levers, not logistical exercises, and you have a track record of using them to drive genuine alignment

Benefits

• Time off - 27 days holiday, plus 5 additional days off: 1 life event day, 2 volunteer days, 2 company-wide wellbeing days (M-Powered Weekend) and 8 bank holidays per year

• Health & Wellness- private medical Insurance with Bupa, a medical cashback scheme, life insurance, gym membership & wellness resources through Wellhub and access to Spill - all in one mental health support

• Hybrid work offering - for most roles we collaborate in the office three days per week with the exception of Coaches and Instructors who collaborate in the office once a month

• Work-from-anywhere scheme- you’ll have the opportunity to work from anywhere, up to 10 days per year

• Space to connect: Beyond the desk, we make time for weekly catch-ups, seasonal celebrations, and have a kitchen that’s always stocked!
