Hi Kevin. I don’t actually work for Snap Judgment – I just post things I find that are relevant to public media folks. So you’ll have to contact Snap directly. The email address is jobs@snapjudgment.org. You can also check in with my FC colleague Ana Adlerstein. She’s been interning there for the past 6 months or so and could probably answer your questions. anaupatree@gmail.com Good luck! It’s a great show. -Mia
