[Alex is sitting somewhere, and she's got a mug of coffee in front of her, along with a note pad and a pen. She smiles, but there's an undercurrent of nervousness in it because while multiple people have told her she could be on television, Alex's preferred medium has always been radio and podcasts. She's not quite sure what to do with her hands (they'd normally be on the control box) when she speaks so she picks up a pen and rolls it between her fingers.]
Hi! Um. Like a lot of you I'm a [kidnapee?] refugee and I need to find a job. Back home I worked as a reporter, and I'm hoping that I'll be able to use my skills doing the same thing here. I'd give you some references but I'm afraid that they probably wouldn't do you any good anyway now. [And she doesn't want to explain either what a podcast is, or how hers won a best of Apple award in 2015. So for now just a reporter will work.]
But my name is Alex Reagan and I've been working in the business since college, so I've got a fair amount experience. Thanks?
[Stupid camera, stupid being uncomfortable on camera, and Alex just turns it off with little preamble.]

My queen, and my friends. And my-
[Wife. Except Molly is not his wife, not anymore.]
Well. My world.

[That dangling 'my' sounds more than a little familiar so she speaks with a soft and reassuring smile.]
Maybe if you ask there's a way to get them to hurry things up?
