Imagine
yourself — or, perhaps, you and your friends — as hosts of your own podcast.
What would you talk about?
Maybe
you’d tell a story, perhaps about a childhood memory, an
experience that changed your life, or a bad romance. Or maybe you’d
rather interview guests about a topic you’re exploring, whether
a news-related issue or a hobby, passion, or
concern of your own? Or, maybe you’d just like to have a conversation — about pop culture, sports,
food, fashion, technology, politics, or, if you’re stuck, any of these 1,000-plus topics we’ve rounded up to
inspire you.
In Our
Third Annual Podcast Challenge, we invite teenagers to submit original work, of
five minutes or less. Our favorites will then be featured on The Learning
Network.
Contest Dates: April 9, 2020 - May 19, 2020
Please note: We will update
