Chantel is a 2005 graduate of Howard University where she received a Bachelors of Arts degree in Broadcast Journalism. Upon graduation she worked with The Washington Post and NPR. She is a teaching artist in the DC metro area and has had the opportunity to fuse her passion for the theatre arts and ministry by serving as the Education Manager for Living Stones, Inc. Chantel is excited about the opportunity to continue using her skills in journalism as a YouthCast host.
Jones Franzel sent me an email the other day; she wrote: "Wanted to send you this review of YouthCast on the Sound of Young America..." I decided to check it out. It's a post "Podthoughts" by Colin Marshall about podcasts offered on alt.NPR. In the post, Colin talks about YouthCast. Here's a quote: The neat thing is that the pieces are made by high-school- or college-age producers. The less neat thing is that I once again find myself having to break out the term "This American Life-y", which I apply to a regrettably high number of shows.
That made me think...how can we differentiate our style? I have much respect for Ira Glass, but I'm also an advocate for uniqueness. So, what do you think about our podcasts?
