The Mixing Board is the daily podcast of the 2009 Weekday High Internship Program. The aim is to offer a youthful view of our times.

High school interns will host and produce the podcast, including a weekly focus on how the economy is effecting young people. A new episode will be posted every Monday through Thursday for August of 2009.

The Mixing Board features Michelle Dutro, Beno Picciano, Keano Martinez, Bryce Ellis, Artur Sapek, Molly Anderson and Lizzie Kirschner.
