The daily podcast featuring voices and stories from KUOW's Weekday High School Internship Program.

The Weekday High School Internship is a summer program aimed at teaching high school students how to produce radio. Seven students from around the Seattle-area are spending six weeks learning what makes a good story and what it takes to tell that story.

Every Monday through Thursday we produce a new show featuring our voices and those of our peers. The theme for this summer is activism in the very broad sense of someone doing something for a reason. We will mostly be focusing on other teenagers and those around us working to make a difference.

The first week was produced by Managing Editors Nathan Friend and Brad Iverson-Long, while the final three weeks will be produced by the interns themselves. The Weekday High team this year includes Lillian Warner, Ann Kane, Bryce Jacobson, DaeDae Williams, Kaitie Marshall, and Kat Beame. Hide full description
