What's Poppin': the Middle School Podcast Club

8/20/2022

Michelle Andrade, Assistant Director of Marketing & Communications

From Lower School presentations to High School Harkness tables, Ensworth offers a variety of avenues for students to discover and develop their voices. The new Middle School Podcast Club provides another opportunity for students to share their ideas in a fun and innovative way.

Often informative or opinion-led, podcasts range in topic, style, and demeanor. Students in Grades 6-8 develop their podcasts utilizing state-of-the-art technology, honing their interviewing and writing skills, and exploring topics amusing to them.

Middle School Technology Integration Specialist Jenny Krzystowczyk shares more about the Podcast Club, founded to integrate technology and interests for Middle School students.

“What’s Poppin’ is a new after-school club provided for interested Middle Schoolers. These students create a monthly podcast centered around life as a Middle Schooler and events around the school. Episodes include stories, jokes and skits, and news stories at Ensworth in the Middle School. Our episodes can be found on our website (see the QR Code below). Every episode is created completely by students. The stories are written by students, the interviews are conducted by students, and even the intro music was created by a Grade 6 student. The ability to provide a creative space for students to produce content relevant to their lives is a great honor for me. We hope to continue to offer this opportunity in the future and look forward to more amazing and fun episodes!”
