Trailer

A trailer for the world's most important internship-related podcast.

Transcript

Hello. I’m Guy Snapdragon, host of The Undercover Intern, two-times runner up for The Interns’ Choice Award at the Internship Podcasting Awards. To date, The Undercover Intern has been exclusive to paid subscribers able to prove that they are an intern, are aspiring to be an intern, or are a close blood-relative to an intern. However, we’ve been awarded a grant from the UK government’s Internship Innovation Fund that finally recognizes The Undercover Intern as a public good, as important as Royal Mail postboxes, lighthouses and The Red Arrows. From January, episodes of this podcast will be free to everybody, per the oppressive grant conditions. You can still pay me, but no need as I now have well over a million in the bank, and I know that tends not to be the case for the average podcast listener.

I obviously have reservations about allowing all sorts of non-intern-adjacents access to my expertise, and potential listeners who think that a baked potato is a meal are unlikely to get anything from my podcast. If this sounds like you, please stop listening now. [Gap] That’s better. In The Undercover Intern podcast, I – a successful white heterosexual man in my low-to-mid-40s - join various organisations as an intern. I do this to help early-career interns to survive our cruel world. Even today, over eleven percent of interns disappear without a trace, dead. But with my advice about topics ranging from networking to choosing the most appropriate briefcase for your internship, you can avoid being one of the intern-disappeared and can instead lead a long and successful career. Don’t worry if you’re not intern-interested, we do true crime and other zeitgeisty stuff on the show too. The Undercover Intern is a weekly podcast, available every Monday, and is only 10 to 12 minutes per episode, because I’m an introvert and get really tired if I try to talk for longer than that. Join the party from Monday the 13th of January 2025.

One quick word of warning: it is not possible to multi-task when listening to The Undercover Intern podcast. It demands your full attention, so no jam-making or knitting or what have you. Show me some basic respect for less than 12 minutes a week and I will do the same for you. Stop living your life like an ADHD exemplar, grabbing whatever is in front of you, but too distracted to actually enjoy it. Oh, give me that sweet. Oh look, a bright screen, let’s go over there instead. It’s pathetic. You’re a human being, not a dog.

My name is Guy Snapdragon, I said that earlier but you’ve likely forgotten. Please give this trailer a five-star review on all the podcast platforms, and do ensure not to over-eat in the festive period because, even if you manage to get your hands on them, those weight loss drugs are experimental and cause explosive nasal hair growth, especially for women. Take care, and speak to you next month.
