Days of Interns Past

This isn't Weekday High's first rodeo or its first summer of producing radio stories. Our past summers' work is available through the links on the right, but they deserve their own post.
Last summer, Steve, Nathan and I worked with a group of girls to produce VoxPod, a podcast and blog (and MySpace page!) that showcased our work. We focused on voices and stories from local communities of choice and chance.
In 2006, Nathan, Steve and the interns focused on their connection to our waterways. You can search KUOW's archives to listen to their work, though much of it was part of a Weekday show on the health of Puget Sound.
The summer of 2005 was theme-less, but the interns produced a batch of good stories focused mainly on their fellow teens. Scan through the archives for stories about teens and dieting, interracial romance, Native American identity, and other meaty topics.
Four years ago was an election year, obviously, and the interns focused on politics at the neighborhood level.
That's all the Weekday High work available online. Weekday High's just a tiny part of a nationwide youth radio movement. Other excellent examples include Youth Radio, Curie Youth Radio, and Generation PRX, as well as the links Nathan cited in the last post.
Have a good listen and a good weekend.
