Call for Collaboration!!

ArtBeat Radio is busily working on a new episode all about hopes and dreams, and we need your help!  This is your chance to be a part of our podcast!  Please roll tape while you fill in the blanks of these three statements: 

In the future, I hope I _____________ .

In the future, I hope we ___________ .

In the future, I hope the world _____________ . 

We are looking for a variety of short, honest, engaging answers that need not conform to any specific idea or theme.  No answer is wrong! (Unless it is riddled with profanity or offensive language.)

Content does not need to be professional, or even thoroughly edited.  We love the organic sounds that come from your phone’s Voice Memos or your computer’s webcam.  We only ask that files be audio only.  

Submissions can be  emailed through September 3 to radio.artbeat@gmail.com.

Thanks, and have fun!

Excitedly,

The ArtBeat Radio Staff

Nature in the City

Our summer intern, Rebecca, put this podcast together over the last two months. She travelled with some students to the Madrona Marsh Preserve in Torrance, in order to spend some time enjoying nature and interacting with the community.  They recorded their time together, and this podcast is the result!  Thanks for all your hard work, Rebecca!
