KEXP is more than just a radio station. In addition to its eclectic
music mix, KEXP has a goal to teach listeners more about the craft of
making music, the history of popular music, and the musicians making
today’s new sounds. In order to help you learn about music, KEXP and
its partners have developed the following programs. |
OVERVIEW: KEXP, the Vera Project and the All Ages Movement Project are
proud to host a 10 week podcasting workshop resulting in a series of
podcasts that will be available for free download on www.kexp.org and
www.theveraproject.org.
The goal of these workshops is to engage the young people of our
community by championing youth-led and youth-focused programming, and
offering increased training opportunities. These workshops will be

editing and hosting the final podcast.
