    Show 333 - Charity Spotlight: Amplifying Youth Voices Through the Power of Audio

    In this special Charity Spotlight episode, Freya Cooper is joined by Alex Owens, Founder of Be Loud Studios, Aly Curro from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, and Kim Nguyen, a young participant whose life has been transformed through the organisation’s work. Together, they explore how youth-led storytelling can create meaningful dialogue, challenge assumptions, and give young people a stronger voice in shaping their communities. From its beginnings with a single student and a microphone, Be Loud has grown into a thriving non-profit that now works with more than a thousand young people each year. Alex shares why audio storytelling and podcasting have become such powerful tools for self-expression, while Aly explains how the foundation’s partnership with Be Loud is helping to shift narratives, strengthen communities, and place young people at the centre of important conversations. The episode also shines a spotlight on Kim’s personal journey, from arriving sceptical and unsure of the value of her own voice, to becoming a confident advocate, mentor and storyteller. Through projects exploring topics such as Hurricane Katrina, artificial intelligence, misinformation and digital wellbeing, the conversation reveals how curiosity, collaboration and authentic human connection can empower the next generation of leaders. With inspiring stories, practical insights and a compelling case for listening more closely to young people, this episode is essential listening for anyone interested in education, community impact, youth development, and the future of storytelling.
