Power Your Story

Power Your Story is produced by high school students in the Podcast Tech & Production programs of After School Matters in Chicago. We represent diverse voices, telling our real life stories through the power of podcasting. Each season features a new group of student producers under the mentorship of producer, Andrea Klunder at The Creative Impostor Studios. We share personal stories, interviews, and round table discussions about the topics that matter most to us. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. We hope you learn something new by listening. Peace.
