Before we get into this week's episode we have a really exciting announcement to make.

Spike's incredible internship program is back.

We're on the lookout for an aspiring journalist to join our team for a six month paid full time placement.

You'd be working with us here in the Spiked Office,

doing everything from helping us put out our articles

to helping us produce podcasts like this one.

And you don't need any prior experience to apply.

What we're looking for is someone who has a

spark for journalism, writing or podcasting and who has a passion for our pro-freedom, pro-human message.

Everything else you can learn on the job. I started at Spike as an intern so I can

highly recommend applying for this. It's an amazing experience and you get to earn

while doing something you love. There really is nowhere better to kick-start your

career in journalism. To find out more and to apply go to

spike-typhon online.com slash interns. That's spike-typhon online.

You have until Sunday the 19th of May to apply. Good luck.
