New Youth Podcasts Are Live on Bandcamp!
Our Gig Explorers Podcast Workshop participants's creative episodes are ready for you to hear! Recorded at We Own This Town Studios with guidance from Michael Eades (We Own This Town / YK Records), these podcasts showcase incredible youth voices and ideas - from hilarious and cringe-worthy confessions about the choices we’d rather forget, ASMR soundscapes with bonus giggles, and a ton of chat about favorite music tracks, surprising genres, and the tracks we just can’t get into.
