Teen Center A new project of the Education Department*The Due Date for Applications has been extended. Accepting Applications until November 3rd.* WYEP is beginning a brand new project centered on youth empowerment. We have noticed that there are a lot of intelligent, passionate teens in this city with strong voices and great talent. We have been wondering though, how those voices can be better projected. We want the Pittsburgh region to hear what our youth have to say about what is important to them. To honor that vision of the future we have begun a project which will be teen-driven. We are looking for teens who are interested in learning how to project their voices through a variety of media, including radio. But we are not interested in telling those teens what to say. We want teens who would like to develop their leadership skills - who are interested in spending time with the issues that are important to them. The future of this project is a teen-led organization centered on media creation and advocacy. If you or a teen you know would like to: Download the Teen Center Application. (.pdf download) WYEP is receiving applications until November 3. Decisions will be made by November 4. During this first phase participants will be meeting 2 Saturdays a month from 1-4pm at The WYEP Community Broadcast Center from November 2011-June 2012. For a full schedule and/or more information contact alexa@wyep.org. Find out more about Teen Center A new project of the Education Department » |

Mike Canton's Soul Show presents The Soul Train Tribute - Part 2Based on incredible listener response to a Soul Train Tribute show done last Saturday, The Soul Show host Mike Canton continues his recognition of the late Don Cornelius with even more great afro-funk, Motown and psychedelic soul music from 1971 - 1980. “Soul Train’s impact on American society was that it mainstreamed a ‘subculture’ in previously unimagined ways,” says The Soul Show host Mike Canton. “Where Motown’s effort was to reach the general audience with a safe, somewhat sanitized approach, Soul Train’s ‘uncut’ music was discovered by a broader society that was both blown away and accepting of this previously unfamiliar subculture.” Canton’s show will follow a chronological showcase of a different year in music during each 20-minute segment. Canton welcomes listener feedback and calls at 412.381.9900. Find out more about Mike Canton's Soul Show presents The Soul Train Tribute - Part 2 » |
