🎙️✨ BIG congratulations to the talented students in Ms. Adele Powers’ Journalism & Digital Media Class on the successful launch of their very first professional podcast series with Marfa Public Radio! ✨🎙️
Our students took on real-world storytelling by creating podcasts covering topics such as:
🎓 Life in a small rural school
🏈 High school sports culture
💼 After-school jobs
🤝 Growing up and graduating with the same classmates
🌵 Honest conversations about life in Marfa and the emotions of senior year coming to an end
Through this incredible experience, students learned how to:
🎧 Produce, edit, and publish audio stories
🎤 Use professional microphones, headphones, and editing software
🗣️ Strengthen communication, collaboration, and technical literacy skills
💜 Build confidence through storytelling and creative expression
This project gave our students the opportunity to share their voices, experiences, and perspectives with the community in a powerful and professional way.
👏 Special shoutout to Marfa Public Radio’s Zoe K for her outstanding mentorship, guidance, and support throughout this experience!
Shorthorns Show Out! We are proud of these students for representing Marfa ISD with creativity, professionalism, and heart.
