[youthradioleaders] This week on YouthCast: Tracking from Jaimita Haskell of Radio Rookies

[Johanna Franzel (Jones)]

Dear Generation PRX,

Starting in middle school, Jaimita Haskell was marked for the 
"mainstream" track. As a result, she wasn't put in the advanced classes 
in high school. This week on YouthCast, Jaimita documents the 
challenges she faced in trying to switch tracks for WNYC's Radio 
Rookies.  See/hear/read all about it: http://youthcast.org.

This week's YouthCast will grab anyone who's been a student or a 
teacher.  In their interview, host Kiera Feldman and Jaimita cover such 
topics as the power of the mic, the future of youth radio and 
challenging authority:

Remember, Jaimita (who doubles as a long-time Generation PRX advisor) 
will be checking back to answer questions from you - ask away!

Best to you,

Jones
