October update

Wow! Great news today: Educational Center for the Arts (the home of Road Kill Radio) was awarded the Creative Collaboration Grant that we applied for to support our student radio project. Special thanks to the CT Commission on Culture and Tourism and to the National Endowment for the Arts (a federal agency) for their support of youth media in New Haven.

And speaking of ECA's Road Kill Radio show: last week a team of RKR producers visited the Collaborative Writing elective to record a short piece of fiction and interview some of the authors.

And another team hit the streets to ask people what they are thinking about the ever-evolving
"swine flu" pandemic.

Listen for these segements (and more) in our next RKR broadcast on WPKN in November.
The new show will, of course, be archived here at www.youthradioct.org.

Flash: the Middle School Radio Road Show is heading for Lincoln MS in Meriden!
On November 16, I'll begin helping a group of fifteen middle school students to create their own radio show for broadcast and podcasting. The program is sponsored by the Meriden
REACH program and I am really looking forward to once again working with Lincoln MS principal Leo Lavallee (who you may remember was the far-sighted administrator who first green-lignted the radio project at ECA).

Talk to you later...
