The young lady who did the story about living in NYCHA has the most marvelous voice. I thoroughly enjoyed her presentation. Please give her more opportunities

This was the podcast that got me listening to podcasts back in 2010. I loved the raw emotion the kids shared about their topic of choice and the fact that I learned so much about NYC culture through the eyes of the local youths. I keep coming back here every so often, hoping a new episode will get posted...really wish that the Radio Rookies program comes back one day!

I love Radio Rookies!

Listening to these young people is like sticking your ears into the future. Thanks WNYC for giving teens the tools to put their voices out there.

What are you doing right now? Stop reading this review and listen to RR. Ladies and gents, as you read this you're missing out on one of the most heart wrenching, raucous, well though out young bloods in the radio scene. Maybe you're thinking, "Should I try out this new podcast? I mean, it's made by kids." Think about it like this; Imagine you were given the opportunity to really hone in on your teen angst, to organize and flesh out all those feelings with access to amazing instructors, celebrities and professionals, then you'd have RR. Racial tensions, feminism, language barriers, video games. Ira, Jad, Glynn and the whole scene better watch out, these kids are coming up! Give it a try, you'll be hooked.

one of my favorites! great program!

Interesting but sometimes the topics can get so self-indulgent, that they can't see other perspectives.

This podcast is very entertaining. I find it interesting that work like this is done by teenagers, not adults with years of experience.

This was a touching podcast, well worth the time. I wish so many kids could hear this young girls story.
