Gear up and download. Broad Street Studios has launched its first-ever radio broadcasting class. Drawing upon city block buzz and the lyrics in their notebooks, students have been recording music tracks, newscasts and conducting field interview. Using the Delgado recording studio to create podcasts and eventually stream live broadcasts online, AS220's youth program will be showcasing the music of local artists - plus their own creative projects. The class draws upon AS220 resources as many Broad Street students are accomplished musicians and emcees, some affiliated with the Broad Street Beat Library.

Saturday's class recorded the station's first promo. Take a listen... bssradio.wav. Check out the website each Saturday to download weekly podcasts.
