About this episode
In this week's episode of The Students' Podcast we talk with some of our high school finalists from last year who mastered the art of the respectful interview.

Three students from the Duke Ellington School of the Arts created a non-narrated podcast about the human stories behind the gun violence epidemic in their hometown of Washington, DC. Interviewing family and friends, the students let the interviewees speak for themselves with little editing.
