The Undercover Intern

The 24-Hour Podcast Marathon

Paul Watkinson Episode 13

Guy tries to host a 24-hour episode, but seems slightly unwell.

Welcome to the one-hundred-and-fourteenth episode of The Undercover Intern podcast, coming to you live from the centre of London Luton Airport. I'm your host, Guy Snapdragon, and today is, just about, Monday the 7th of April 2025.

We are sponsored this week by The Maywentery Golf Course. Welcoming men of all abilities since 1923. The Annual Spring left-handers versus right-handers tournament will take place on Saturday, and the right-handers are looking to win for the hundred and first year in a row.

My blood content is 30% caffeine right now because you are listening to the third annual 24-hour podcast marathon. I’ll be educating and entertaining you for the next 24 hours about all things inten, and there will be a few laughs along the way. Next week’s episode will be all about the halfway pointy. Ha I just said pointy instead of point! It will be about the halfway POINT in my internship at Focgee - where the client is loved two point zero - it’s been an immensely busy and rewarding week there. You can’t get good coffee at Focgee - where the client is loved two point zero - which is ironic, isn’t it, really? Anyway, we’ve had a deadline for corporate sustainability reports for twelve clients. They all need to be finished at the same time. So we’re writing about management approach to water, to human rights to occupational health. Any you need to be really specific about what you report, right. You have to interview people and get data and write this really long report and bury all the bad news in amongst the pictures of the CEO planting a tree or hugging a wheelchair. And these European companies have to report against the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the TCFD and TNFD and there’s CDP reporting to do too. You have to look at impact drivers then the state of nature, then ecosystem services, which are like all the things that nature delivers to us for free. And then put that into money so it can be sold. Anyway, that’s next week.

I have to admit, I’ve just eatren some powder up my nose that my producer has given me and I have no idea what it is. I feel confident though. Like why don’t I just go for a run. Oh, these endless wires. If we could just get rid of them all, you know what I mean? Why are studios called studios. That’s such a funny word! Is it related to studying. Like, all the people doing GCSEs have to do them in a podcast studio! I don’t understand that.

I have something on my ear! Oh, it’s these headphones!
