Award-Winning Podcast Production Internship
The Podcast Production Internship serves a small cohort of youth (ages 18-24), focusing on developing and deepening skills in audio production, storytelling, creative writing, interviewing, and project management through a critical lens. Interns will receive technical training, professional development, and the chance to produce original audio pieces featured on Youth on Record podcasts. The internship will include 6 hours per week of in-studio work at Youth on Record and 2-4 hours per week of asynchronous work. Upon completing this internship, interns will have a portfolio of original audio recordings and the skills to produce original pieces.

My Youth on Record
Every artist starts somewhere. Some made music in their basements, and wrote love songs in their biology notebooks. Others were obsessed with that one mind-blowing band who seemed to write music just for them. At some point, they all felt inspired to make their own music. My Youth on Record (MYOR) is a podcast where artists share the music they created as teens, and the stories behind the songs.
My Youth on Record Interrupted is a podcast where artists shared how their personal, professional, and creative lives are transforming in the time of coronavirus. The regularly scheduled podcast was interrupted to bring forward stories, observations, and interviews from community artists who - like you - were experiencing the unprecedented, the mundane, the absurd and the interrupted daily life in a world that changed nearly overnight.
