Who am I, really?
How can I stand up against peer pressure?
Do aliens exist?
This summer the teen Agents of Change at the Peaslee Neighborhood Center in Over-the-Rhine pondered these and other essential questions, while developing their own student podcast.
We at D&Z had the great honor of working with some of these creative change-makers and are delighted to share a sample of their audio projects here, in this special guest episode.
The podcasters:
- McKenzie, age 13
- Jackson, age 14
- Nia, age 15
- Jorge, 13
- Ana, age 15
- Thaddeus, age 14
