Description:

This summer, Weekday High's interns explored the Puget Sound, crafting original radio pieces that look at those who live and work on the waterway. By bringing a youth focus to the issue of pollution in our area, the interns profiled the people and places affected by the changing Sound, giving a voice to both the problems and solutions.
