For the continuation of the podcast workshop led by Karina, the mentees dove deeper into the work it takes to create a podcast. They got a chance to record an intro and outro in a professional make-shift booth of our own. They had a lot of fun with this and created some really awesome ideas for a podcast! We hope to see where the mentees take this new knowledge and how it helps them to grow and expand on their great ideas.

Intro To Podcasting

In this workshop led by Karina, our mentees got the opportunity to learn about podcasting. Karina has a podcast of her own where she discusses different topics with guests. They learned the basics about what a podcast is, how to create one, different topics you can make a podcast about, and more. They also learned some different platforms to post their podcasts on. Overall, this was a great chance for the mentees to learn something new and exciting about a growing field.

Group Project | Food Desert Conversation

A team of five mentees from our summer Mentorship Cohort did a group project on some of the challenges our community faces. In this video/podcast episode, they talked about Maywood being a food desert, as well as what environmental racism is. This podcast was shot, edited, and planned out completely by this group of mentees, with the guidance of Jeremy, a co-founder of The Firehouse Dream who volunteered his time to support this amazing group of young adults. Additionally, Karina, who is the owner of Elevating La Cultura podcast, shared all her tips on how to create, plan, and launch a podcast.
