It was a highly technical interview, there were no traditional interview questions. Posed hypothetical situations about copyright ownership and asked how you would respond or what advice you would give.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NPR in Aug 2019
Interview
I applied online for a specific show. About two weeks later, the show's editor emailed me to let me know I'd made it to the interview round. I interviewed over the phone the next day. I was emailed my results a few days after that.
It was fairly standard, and they asked everything I expected them to.

Question 1
What was your favorite and least favorite episode of our show? Why?
There were three rounds -- one by phone and two online with two editors/reporters each. The calls lasted about 30 minutes. I had the opportunity to ask questions at the end.

Question 1
Why NPR? What's something about you that I wouldn't know from your application?
There was a initial interview with the manager and the senior person in my internship position asking more technical questions and then a couple other interviews with other people on the team.
