"...you can volunteer at a college radio station (doesn't matter if you aren't a student -- someone's gotta have to fill those overnight airshifts) and intern for free."
Actually, in most cases, it DOES matter if you're a student or not. Most college stations that I know of require you to be a student to participate. WONC at North Central College, for instance, doesn't usually allow people in the station if they're not a student, and the radio students are instructed to not put people on the air if they're not a part of the station, with interviews being an exception.
Also, I don't know of any college stations that OFFER internships. They do, however, encourage their students to get internships at commercial stations.
