Episode 0: The Making of Unmuted

As students dust off their backpacks and return to school buildings amid continued uncertainty and anxiety, Miseducation returns with “Unmuted,” a new podcast series investigating the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the 2020-21 school year from the perspective of students.Last year, as school communities and support systems grew increasingly fragile––affecting students’ mental health, the sports teams they cherish, and their ability to receive guidance through the college process––our team of interns reported on these issues and built a community with each other in the process.In Episode 0, we take you behind the scenes to show how our interns pulled off this impressive feat entirely remotely.Miseducation is a podcast of The Bell that equips New York City public high school students with the tools to report on inequities in the nation’s largest school system.
