ACHF Arts Access
Over 40 student artists from various secondary schools will write, produce and record the equivalent eight episodes for three sci-fi podcasts: #HUSHpodcast, HUSH Jr and Shush. Podcast episodes will be aired on KLBB to an audience of 150,000, uploaded to iTunes, Stitcher, and Google Play Music (with current downloads of 7500), and be presented to an assisted living audience (of about twenty residents). Our assessment will survey students, parents and professional mentors to determine artistic development and growth. In addition, we will consider the analytics of our podcast host, website, digital flyers and social media to determine audience engagement and if the content has reached the widest range of people in the most accessible way.
All forty eight students involved felt empowered to give voice to their stories and expressed appreciation for the skills the collaboration and creative skills they learned. When asked why what they did mattered to them, they stated that creating the podcasts fulfilled their artistic needs, provided a community of like minded people, gave them resume experience and exposed them to new ideas.
