Youth Radio

By John Fountain, Kathy Chu, Ted Hutton, Megan Ballinger, Heather Charles

Published Jan 16, 2009

Hip hop. Rhythm. Rock. The voice of the urban street. Oakland teens find in Youth Radio a home away from home. And much more. For thousands, the towering red-brick building is a place that gives rise to their voices in the form of music and social commentary on the Web and across the airwaves, even on National Public Radio. They’ve got Oaktown’s 411. We’ve got their story.
