Be Loud Radio

Presenting recordings from Loud Stories!

Loud Stories is a week-long summer program for high school students, where they learn media production and audio storytelling skills while doing a deep dive into a topic that matters. For this year's Loud Stories, students spent the week focusing on misinformation - exploring how it shows up in their lives, and the impacts it has on their mental, physical, and community's health.

This episode features recordings from some of the personal narratives and interviews conducted during that week! Check out more from Loud Stories on the website at https://beloudstories.org and check back for Part 2 of Loud Stories content in the weeks to come!

This episode is sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Huge thank you to our sponsors for all of their support!

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!
