YWIB-Philadelphia Metro: Interview With the Podcast Club at John Moffet Elementary School

On January 23, the Podcast Club at John Moffet Elementary School in Philadelphia hosted Melissa McDonnell, WIB-Philadelphia Metro's YWIB Committee Chair, for their latest interview. The students had done their homework, researching their guest’s background ahead of time, and came prepared with thoughtful questions. The young interviewers prepared their scripts while the rest of the team handled filming and editing. Seeing the students running the entire production from start to finish was impressive! The club’s dedication and curiosity shone through, especially when discussing Melissa's job in biomedical engineering. Seeing how much responsibility the students had within the club was remarkable. They weren’t just participants but interviewers, camera operators, and editors, taking complete control of the process. Their professionalism and enthusiasm made for a fantastic experience. This club builds real-world skills in media production while exploring different careers. With their great questions and excellent teamwork, the students made it clear that they were genuinely interested in learning. It was an inspiring day at the Podcast Club!
