“Discourse” is a show about telling stories that matter. Each season has a different focus, listed below the title, explored through audio storytelling. Episodes can vary from a narrator-centered monologue to an in-studio interview, to a long-form feature.
Here at Mamaroneck High School, we are looking to tell stories. About people.
What we have found, is our students have stories to share. And we want to arm them with the skills and platform to do so.
Our show features students composing and mixing feature radio stories about the public and our community. All pieces are student-written and student-produced.
