This past May, 6th grade storytellers participated in KQED's Youth Media Challenge as a culminating project for their JEDI class and now this year's middle school podcast club is here to share the backstory of five student stories, including several that were proudly featured on KQED's "Staff Picks". Tune in now to hear 7th graders reflect on their project's original inspiration and their audio production process, not to mention their final projects. You'll hear a range of topics, including Show What You Know pieces about arachnids and artificial intelligence and First Person narratives about spicy friendships and the power of writing. This episode includes 14 different voices - hear what they have to say!
