Radio Rookies Producers and Students on Teachers Teaching Teachers - Wednesday 12.16.09 - 9:PM Eastern / 6:PM Pacific
On Wednesday’s Teachers Teaching Teachers live webcast, we will welcome five students from the East-West School of International Studies and two radio producers, Sanda Htyte and Ann Heppermann. We want to learn more about the kinds of passionate, intelligent, well-researched radio programs that we hear on WNYC’s Radio Rookies.
This fall six of Paul Allison’s students at the East-West School of International Studies worked with Sanda Htyte and Ann Heppermann to produce radio programs (with images) for the Mapping Main Street project. This was the “Short Wave” program with WNYC’s Radio Rookies. All of these students (and one more from East-West) are now working on individual programs with Radio Rookies.
Radio Rookies Short Wave Mapping Main StreetShort Wave rookies embark on a mapping project to tell stories related to the Main Street in Queens, NY, as part of an ambitious project to map all the Main Streets in the United States. In the fall of 2009 the rookies collaborated with the mappingmainstreet.org project in a 5-week long intensive workshop, hosted by the Queens Teens program at the Queens Museum of Art. The students worked in groups reporting, taking photos, developing their stories, and above all working as a team to tell stories ranging from the cultural conversations of Main Street to steamed buns. View and listen here.
Tune in online to learn more about Radio Rookies and Mapping Main Street — and making personally meaningful, high-quality radio programs.
