The other day, I mentioned that I’d lost my job – or one of them anyway. I’ve hit the ground running. I can’t honestly say how many places I’ve already sent my resumé.
After doing some serious hunting for local jobs today, I decided while I’m at it, I’d throw my resume at some other, less practical work places. I’m not up for moving out of Memphis just yet, but what’s the harm in looking, right?
 
It seems that WKNO, our local NPR member station, is an equal opportunity employer. I wonder how much of this is owed to the fact that said opportunity is nil.
Meanwhile, WNYC, hosts to “On the Media” is on something of a hiring tear. If Kerry and I were up for moving anytime soon, WNYC would see my resumé submitted no fewer than 10 times.
Along with that same Radio Lab gig that I mentioned a while back (when are they going to realize that they’re looking for someone who probably doesn’t exist?), they’ve posted what might be the most awesome internship ever. If it’s paid, and I can telecommute, I’m there. It doesn’t seem like a telecommuting-type thing. But maybe it could be. Can somebody find out for me?
And – hey – if I can telecommute for any of those, what are the chances I could get a reference from, say, Brooke Gladstone, Bob Garfield, Bob Boilen, or – wait for it – the Hugh Hefner of public radio himself, Carl Kasell?

I’ll write you a reference, Matt
I think it’s Brooke. What I can’t decide is whether I should ask her and spoil the mystery. Because, really, I think it’s Brooke.
This is not helpful to your situation, but man do I love RadioLab.

[...] I wanted to write about it then, but just hadn’t quite figured out how. When “Lost My Job,” off the “Feudalist Tarts/No Sex” LP came up on my iPod on the way to the coffee shop I’m sitting at right now, I thought that writing about that would be a nice way to quietly, humbly announce that I found a new job. That’s all. Thanks for the kind words, support, and offers to provide references. [...]
