On our 2nd meeting of CASTLE’s 2nd semester, we decided to collectively blow off some steam and play the “Who Am I?” game. Everyone was given a sticky note and tasked with writing down the name of someone or something famous/well known. They then passed their notes to the person on their right, who would then affix the note to their forehead. The students then took turns speaking into a H1 digital recorder and asking questions about who or what they were.

On February 11th, 2014, students at Clairton’s CASTLE program were asked–with Valentines Day looming–if they could make a candy heart, what would it say? Would it be an expression of chalky-flavored love? A terribly good movie pun? Or just simply: “You’re Weird?” Their answers will surprise you.

Radio Club’s second semester at Clairton’s CASTLE program has officially begun! Huzzah! To welcome our new cadre of Radio Club-ers we asked them three questions: “How do you think others would describe you?” “What do you like to do outside of class?” and “Would you rather be a werewolf or a vampire?”

Radio Club is finally back from the holiday break, and to start things off we asked our students what were their New Years Resolutions. Many vowed to do better in school, while others aspired to achieve mayoral dominance; watch out Peduto, Leah is running on the three-minute-once-a-week-school-day platform.

On our last day of Radio Club before the holidays, students visited The Saturday Light Brigade radio studio in the basement of the Pittsburgh Children’s Museum. Once there, they recorded what they’d learned about building microphones, then sang some awesome karaoke of “What Does the Fox Say.”
