Episode 13: Stepping Into Life Through Radio

Marc is joined by Temitayo Fagbenle, an award-winning Rookie
Reporter, and Kaari Pitkin, Senior Producer for WNYC. Radio
Rookies is the product of veteran radio producers, Marianne
McCune and Kaari Pitkin, who have shepherded hundreds of youth in
NYC schools through their first experiences as young reporters
and storytellers. Youth-led stories have garnered numerous
prestigious journalism awards and accolades. Young reporters like
Temi cover big and sometimes thorny topics--drugs, race, sexual
abuse, immigration--that emerge from the center of their own
lives. Learn about the impacts of this experience from Temi
firsthand, and peak under the hood of this unique
production-centered learning experience to understand how stories
get made.
