While trying to chase down a talent for a radio interview, i contacted Voiceless, the Australian animal protection institute, who were unable to get back to me in time. When someone did eventually respond however, they kindly forwarded information about the Voiceless 2009 Media Prize.
Something nice to consider... :-)
Watch a Youtube video of the interview that i did end up having below. The talent i lined up was actually the first legal intern for Voiceless and continues to volunteer for them.
I only found this out in passing conversation about 10 seconds before our interview began! Things worked out rather serendipitously for me i think. Enjoy.
