About this listen

The mission of the Alaska Teen Media Institute is to provide teens with the tools and training needed to produce stories and with the opportunity for their stories - told in their own voices - to be shared through a variety of media. ATMI believes the teen perspective is valuable and under-represented.

    May is Mental Health Awareness month, so we centered our show around that. We chatted with Charlene Aqpik Apok, the founder and executive director of Data For Indigenous Justice (12:27) about the work the organization is doing. ATMI producers Mo Spooner and Rhys James sat down with Nick Carpenter of Medium Build to talk about his recent shows at Bear Tooth (27:21). And we rounded the show out with a roundtable discussion about mental health (47:41).

    Plus Kaylee reported on recent local and national news stories (06:00) and Robbie highlighted some upcoming all-ages events around town (42:28).

    Our March show starts off with an interview with Gwyneth Eggleston, a youth ambassador with the Anchorage Assembly, about a resolution passed to encourage youth voting (06:52). Then we chat with Kass Smiley and Ida Taylor about the B4UDIE Comedy Festival happening in cities across Alaska from March 26th through April 4th, and they joke about their big "sponsor," which appears not to acknowledge the festival in any way, much less fund or endorse it (19:22). From the Anchorage Community Theater's production of "Marvel," director Mary Giles and lead actor Naomi Taymen talk about the story of Alaska's first female aviator, Mary Crosson (43:53). And the show rounds out with some trivia to recognize Women's History Month (54:44).
