[youthradioleaders] A New Year, A New YouthCast, A New You!

[Molly Adams]

Hello Everyone,

A happy and healthy New Year to you all! Why not make your vacation days
last a little longer? *Take some time to listen to our list of the Best
Youth-Made Radio of 2010 <http://www.prx.org/playlists/154005>*. Not
surprisingly to us, some of the just plain BEST radio of 2010 is on there.
Innovative, experimental, humorous, and intimate, youth-made audio is always
a trip and a treat. So get inspired by the young and usually volunteer
producers who are going hard in the paint.

And on the *most recent episode of YouthCast*
<http://youthcast.org/?p=1675>, during a time of year when a lot of
poeple are looking to the future, we
present a story that looks to the past: Mara Kumagai Fink began by asking
her grandmother about *her memories of internment in the 40s*.  When she
brushed it off as not that bad, Mara took a trip to Manzanar, California, to
see if her aunts had a similarly easygoing attitude about the four years
their family was displaced by the government. This piece for Minnesota
Public Radio News's Youth Radio
Series<http://minnesota.publicradio.org/standard/display/project_display.php?proj_identifier=2009/05/13/youthradio>explores
how we can get over a tumultuous, history-changing event and just
how long the ripples of tragedy affect our lives. *Listen to
"Japanese-American Granddaughter Questions Internment" and many more
youth-produced radio features on YouthCast.org <http://www.youthcast.org/>.*

In 2010, *Facebook surpassed Google for the most viewed website on the 'Net*.
A couple hundred of those pageviews came from YouthCast! Join the club and

Thanks for the support and here's to a year of fun and funding for everyone!
