Familiarity with audio editing software like Audacity, Adobe Audition, or GarageBand, and basic knowledge of podcast hosting platforms are valuable. Initiative, adaptability, and effective teamwork are key soft skills that help interns stand out in collaborative and fast-paced environments. These skills are essential for supporting podcast production, meeting deadlines, and contributing creatively to the team.
