This class is your chance to turn your passions into podcasts! Whether you're a gaming enthusiast, a budding comedian, a storyteller, a playwright, or a music lover, we'll help you transform your ideas into captivating audio content. Together, we'll brainstorm concepts, develop scripts, and master the art of recording and editing sound. From the initial idea to the final product, you'll gain hands-on experience in every aspect of podcast production, including marketing and distribution. By the end of the class, you'll have a live podcast episode ready to share with the world and the tools to create and publish your own audio adventures.

ACTIVE EXPLORATIONS: In addition to the outdoor movement and break times planned by each instructor, students participating in full-day Summer Explorations classes will enjoy a 40-minute active break each day led by highly qualified Needham Public School P.E. and Wellness Instructors. During this time, students will head to the gym or venture outside to get some fresh air and move their bodies. Whether it's a brisk walk around the grounds, high-energy running games and relay races, or exciting team sports and activities, this time is a great way to break up the day, get some energy out, and boost focus for the rest of class!
