I sat down with Lauren at Orca Bookstore in Cordova, AK and she told me about her lil' mud company. Inspiring!

Free time in Tatitlek Part II

Emily, 10, was visiting Tatitlek for Cultural Heritage Week. She and her friends were catching bullheads down at the beach, it's what they like to do for fun in the summer.

Free time in Tatitlek

Alaska Geographic sent me to Tatitlek, Alaska in Prince William Sound last week and this is a lil' slide show that a student and I put together. These kids are true Alaskans. There are no leaves on the trees yet but they are jumping into the ocean.

Let me get a word in

RadioLingual

I just got back from the National Federation of Community Broadcasters conference in Portland and I have to share this project I heard about there.

It is called RadioLingual, a Seattle-based multimedia project found in translation.

These two people from Seattle use a new tool that Google is coming out with called Google Voice , where you can record phone calls online.

What they do is they ask people a question, like, "What does it mean to open up a can of worms?" And then have people call in answers using the Internet. Last, they compile the answers into a radio piece.

"Echo" project out of Atlanta

Today while browsing potential grant opportunities for work, I came across a cool project out of Atlanta. Two journalists are working on making Atlanta a more walk and bike friendly place. They are in the beginning stages but this will be something to keep an eye on. The project would allow you to hear stories about different places you might pass on a daily walk to school or work in Atlanta. I'll just let them explain, check out this video.

Our heroes

Two of my new teen reporters at work interviewed a bunch of kids at their school, Polaris K-12, about who their heros are for our show this weekend. It is kind of silly, might make you laugh a little.
