This workshop is open to all young people ages 11 to 19.

This hands on workshop introduces young people how to produce a live radio show and how through community radio they can think critically, experiment with digital technologies, and express themselves. Participants learn how a radio studio works from running the board, planning a show, being a host and DJ, producing short news spots, interviewing guests in the studio, field and studio recording and some audio editing with Audacity. The workshop culminates in a two-hour radio broadcast on WPEB 88.1 FM , a new community radio station for West Philadelphia, with students performing every role.
