Be Loud Radio

New podcast alert! "Next Voices" is a Be Loud podcast that listens to the next generation of students, leaders, and citizens here in New Orleans. 

In this episode, students from The Net discuss what "America" means to them and realizations they've had as they navigate life and school. 

Big shout out to our new friends from the NET Central City and especially to their teacher Erin Lierl for coordinating, preparing, and inspiring this conversation. 

Also, thank you to our partner the New America Foundation for inspiring and investing in this work. These experiences have pushed us to re-imagine what it means to listen to and record with young people. We hope you will continue to tune in to these conversations. 

What is Be Loud Radio ?

The Be Loud Radio Hour is a podcast made by kids for everyone! At Be Loud Studios we help kids turn screens into tools for self expression and courageous collaboration. Being “loud” means showing up, creating something different, being assertive.

Youth need more space to practice their “loudness,” especially in our digital world. Whether it be with a microphone or camera, we trust youth to be creators (not just consumers) –their opinions, ideas, and perspectives are valid and must be expressed.

Be Loud exists to amplify kid voice in a time where too many youth are silenced. Kids have things to say. We want to give them the platform to not only share their stories, but to confidently broadcast them to the larger community. By doing so, we believe that they will feel affirmed and confident to become more active changemakers, listeners, and culture bearers.

Thanks for listening, and remember to BE LOUD!
