Be Loud Radio | Be Loud Radio Hour: Grassroots Radio Conference + Theo Mitchell

Be Loud DJ's took on the Grassroots Radio Conference at Gallier Hall in New Orleans! DJs got to interview folks who work at community radio stations around the country, learning about what they do and also what they think is the power of storytelling. This episode includes interviews with radio hosts & practitioners, a podcast with MarkAlain Dery, the founder of WHIV, and an extra special addition of an interview between DJ Splash and Theo Mitchell, announcer for the New Orleans Pelicans and Saints.

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!
