Be a Part of the First-Ever NPR Student Podcast Challenge!
Teachers: Would you like to hear your students on WFIU? NPR is inviting students between 5th and 12th grade to create a podcast, then—with the help of a teacher—compete for a chance to win a grand prize and have their work appear on NPR. Submissions are open now through March 31. Students can work with a class or extracurricular group to make their podcasts. Each podcast should be between three and 12 minutes long. NPR’s panel of expert judges will be listening for creative work that stands out. Judges include NPR’s Jasmine Garsd Garcia, Sarah Gonzalez, Lee Hale, Linda Lutton, Rebecca Martin, Shereen Marisol Meraji, Doug Mitchell, Cory Turner, Sam Sanders, and Ki Sung. Winners will be announced in April. The winning podcast submissions will be featured in segments on Morning Edition or All Things Considered. This is a competition, but it’s also about learning new skills in a fun way. NPR wants to make that learning easier so they’ve put together materials to help both teachers and students along the way. Visit npr.org/studentpodcastchallenge to find suggested prompts, guidelines for submissions, judging criteria, and a list of questions you might have. You may also email studentpodcastchallenge@npr.org for more information on this contest. Good luck, and we hope to hear some students from our community on the radio soon!

WFIU Audio Director Wins IU Staff Merit Award

people from all across campus, and winners are chosen by a committee of staff and faculty members.
Congratulations to WFIU’s Mike Paskash who recently won an Indiana University Staff Merit Award in the Support Staff category! Paskash began working for IU Radio/TV services in September of 1996, when he was hired on as a studio engineer. In 2011, the position was reclassified and he now serves as the official radio audio director. Paskash’s responsibilities require him to wear many hats. He does everything from recording and editing locallyproduced programs, to equipment installation and even live sound engineering for studio and on-location sessions. Asked to talk about his favorite part of his job, Paskash said, “I would have to say it’s getting to work with all of the various famous guests that come into the station, and I also enjoy when ‘live’ musicians perform on the air from our studios.” Mike Paskash
