Let's Pod

Our Let’s Pod program introduces middle schoolers at Thirteenth Avenue School in Newark to media literacy and podcast production. Through hands-on afterschool sessions, students learn to brainstorm topics, structure episodes, record audio, and edit their final productions using Logic Pro. Piloted with ten students, the program is continuing through the school year in partnership with Rutgers Newark’s Urban Education department. This initiative builds technical skills while empowering students to tell their own stories and engage critically with media.
