Peer Talk launches with their first interview with Margo Hall, Artistic Theater Director [show 1]
PEER TALK at the Willie L. Brown Jr. Middle School
is a fresh new podcast emerging from the halls of The Willie Brown Middle School.
At Beyond the Fog Radio, we recognized the need for a platform designed for and by middle school students - where youth can develop their voices and share their perspectives.
Located in Bayview-Hunters Point, in San Francisco a neighborhood that has been historically home to African American families, Willie L. Brown Middle School carries the name of the well known former Mayor of San Francisco and Former Speaker of the California Assembly , who has devoted himself to the well being of the lives of others.
In the wake of Election Day 2024, we realized just how critical it is to equip students with the confidence to speak out, learn from community leaders, and dive into civic engagement - preparing them to become the next wave of local and global change-makers.
Each guest on Peer Talk is chosen to align with the students’ coursework, bringing lessons to life through real-world experiences.
Our debut episode features seventh-graders from Mr. O’s Peer Resource class interviewing Margo Hall, the Artistic Director of the Lorraine Hansberry Theater, to discuss the influence she and Lorraine Hansberry have had on American theater.
Beyond the Fog Radio is thrilled to present Peer Talk at The Willie Brown Middle School, a space for the next generation of community leaders to explore, learn, and inspire - right here in San Francisco.
