  • Communications Associate: (Musket) Smoke on the Water with Katelyn McArdle
    Jun 5 2026

    Ever seen a job ad that feels like it was written by a time traveler? This week on Roast the Post, we dissect a Communications Associate role for a nonprofit preserving Revolutionary War battlefields in the United States... where the biggest twist isn’t the history, but the ban on social media.

    That’s right: no tweets, no posts, just… print ads and event logistics? Jen, Paul, and guest roaster Katelyn McArdle from Functional Authority unpack the bizarre contradictions, from the "entrepreneurial" spirit clashing with the "follow-the-rules" vibe to the salary range that’s almost fair (if the role weren’t so confusingly scoped). Is this a hidden gem for history buffs, or a dumpster fire waiting for an unsuspecting comms pro? Tune in to find out.

    May 29 2026

    Ever wondered what it’s like to be the person keeping high rollers happy in the world of monetized gaming? This week, Jen and Paul dive into a Lead VIP Host job ad that’s as bold as it is vague. From the allure of autonomy to the fine print of “unlimited vacation,” they roast the post and ask: Is this the dream gig for a charismatic hustler, or a recipe for burnout? Tune in to find out if this job ad hits the jackpot or folds under pressure.

  • Golf Companion: Singapore Sling, Toronto Swing.
    May 22 2026

    What does it take to be a full-time golf companion for a jet-setting family? This week, Jen and Paul tee off on a job ad so niche, it makes their previous roasts look like entry-level gigs. Between the 75% travel, the cultural tutoring, and the mystery of who’s footing the bill for rent in Singapore, this role is equal parts dream job and logistical nightmare. Is it a legitimate opportunity or a scam wrapped in a country club membership?
