NPR Podcast Challenge
In this episode we focus on Podcasting. The word “podcast” is a combination of the words pod and broadcast. Podcasts are described as on-demand internet radio talks. These tracks are typically audio recordings of a conversation between a host and a guest speaker, just like the ones you can listen to on the radio, or a single monologue of a person sharing his or her thoughts. These podcasts will be submitted to National Public Radio or NPR for their student podcast challenge which gives a chance for a student to win their grand prize and have their work appear on NPR. Only the audio tracks will be presented on NPR, but for our purposes we put up some visuals. Happy Listening!

Making healthy DIETARY decisions has affected almost everyone. Not every diet is healthy and not all people go on diets to lose weight. What is healthy, what is unhealthy, who determines what you eat? For good health, it’s recommended that we eat plenty of plant foods, such as fruit, vegetables, bread and other grain-based foods. It's important to change the way you eat in your early life because it’s harder to change your habits later on in life. By Sydney Roell '19, Miguel Catarino '19
