Listen to the best interviews from this week. The DorobekINSIDER will return Monday with all-new shows.

Dorobek moderates the lively discussion.
• Federal Intern program broke rules?
  Does the Federal Career Intern Program violate hiring rules? The Merit Systems Protection Board thinks so and has put the program on hold. Tim McManus, vice president of education and outreach at the Partnership for Public Service, joined the DorobekINSIDER to discuss how the program works and the effect of the ruling.
• Is your office too loud?
  Are the people in your office too chatty, the is copier a little too close to your desk or the heater overhead blasting? How is all that noise affecting your productivity? The “open design” of most offices could be causing more stress than it’s relieving. Patrick Skerrett, Editor of the Harvard Health Letter, talks to us about what can be done.
