Tortillas and K-pop: Stories from RadioActive's community workshops
This fall KUOW's RadioActive Youth Media partnered with three local organizations to produce community workshops. In this bonus episode of the RadioActive podcast, teens from the Yakima Valley, Seattle Indian Health Board, and the Coalition for Refugees from Burma share snippets of their work.
They talk about how language, culture, and family can intertwine, the challenges of moving to a new country and how English can be tricky on the tongue. Finally, they end on a reflection about K-pop and how the wave of music from Korea is universally appealing, regardless of where you are from or what language you speak.
