You may have noticed some changes to the WPGU page this week (or maybe you haven’t) so I’m here to guide you through them.

1. A compacted livestream. No more picking your player (it’s so confusing!), just press play and out comes the radio … from your computer. It’s truly the way of the future.

2. Search artist or album index, right in the live playlist. That Cure remix that just played totally reminds you of remixes, which reminds you of mashing things together, which reminds you of Girl Talk. So search for it.

3. Recent music forum posts are right there on the side. So you’re looking through the playlist, listening to a local band play on PGU, and BAM! there’s a forum post about that band. It’s all right there.

4. Audio archive box. Now you can see all the recent audio files that have gone up without have to search for them. Listen to an interview with Death Cab for Cutie or an in-studio performance that you may have missed. You need a break from reading, after all.

Go forth and enjoy the new WPGU page. I think you might like it.

The internship is unpaid (except for payment per completed project, such as writing stories or making videos), and lasts four weeks, beginning right after winter break. Every intern who completes the program will be offered aid in another job placement throughout the company, and will also have a leg up on management positions available in the spring of 2009 on the217.com.

Please do not send resumes until you send your completed application.
