The student podcast challenge ends April 28, 2023.

NPR is still accepting entries to the middle and high school student podcast challenge until April 28. Community Voices spoke with Janet Woojeong Lee and Steve Drummond from NPR's Education Desk about the origins of the podcast challenge and the top tips for students. We also get a chance to hear one of the honorable mentions from last year's contest.
