Thank you so much for doing this Q and A session!

I've been reading your answers and overall about the hardware that is used for tiny desk and when it comes to SD 788t - the series are discontinued and now replaced by 883 (it seems, sorry if I am wrong, maybe saw the wrong sources).

I wanted to ask, because you mentioned that 788t is part of the iconic tiny desk sound and the preamps are amazing, is it worth buying used 788t over the new one and is it the reason you haven't upgraded to 883? Or/and is it just because there isn't that much worth of doing so, because upgrade is too pricey compared to the result you get?

P.S. will this thread be deleted afterwards or can I just save the link?

I have a few more question about the AE internship in NPR:

1. Do people who graduated, are in later study years have more leverage when deciding on their application success, than the let's say first years or second years?

2. Is it only one person that is hired for the internship for the AE department?

3. Is it really significant in which area the sound portfolio is based more (sound design, studio recording or radio) when applying or choosing over the successful candidate?

4. What do you look the most for in a successful candidate?
