Best Of Weekday High RadioActive
Monday, September 05, 2011
This summer, eight high school students took a crash course in making radio at KUOW. They're the Weekday High students. They reported their own stories, recorded their own sounds, talked into microphones and mixed everything together. Then they made a podcast four days a week for three weeks. It's called RadioActive and this hour we hear the best of it. Tune in for stories about South Asian college students who've creative a unique form of music and students who are lobbying for a spot on the Seattle School Board.
