Our Podcaster-In-Residence program supports youth storytellers in the development of their very own podcast series.

Throughout history, young people have been on the front lines of social change in America. From leading walkouts to hosting safe spaces for their peers to freely express themselves, young people are persistent about creating a world where their voices are heard. GaoZong and Mai Shoua are no different, coming of age in today’s current political climate. They have taken their voices to the digital world of audio storytelling. On their monthly podcast, Hear Us Out, they invite youth to speak their truths and break down social justice issues. Hear Us Out will make you laugh while challenging you to think critically about topics that impact today’s young people.
