[asset|aid=240|format=image|formatter=asset|title=RBRiPodLogoSmall.gif|width=180|height=179|resizable=true|align=right]This episode of Red Belly Radio is actually by one of our interns, Josh. He recorded it and also wrote the blog, but I had no way to credit him, the system kept putting my name in. (Josh's part starts here)

The summer is winding down and as for the Interns, so is their experience here at Southwest Airlines. This year, 55 Interns were chosen out of 10,000 applicants for the summer session. These interns are working in 21 departments around Headquarters. The No Limits Internship program offers real-life work experience at a Company where the Fun-LUVing attitude is contagious. These interns don’t do regular intern tasks such as getting coffee and sending faxes, however, they are getting to do work that really helps our bottom line.

In this episode I talked to two interns, Callie Boyd and Taylor Chatfield, who both work with the Culture Activities team. They have helped plan numerous events for Employees around the system to keep the Culture of Southwest Airlines alive and thriving! Planning and executing Culture Activities is just one example of the type of work Interns have the opportunity to get involved in at Southwest Airlines. Give it a listen.
