Hive serves students through a variety of programs, including Radio Camp in the summers, Radio 101 classes embedded in local schools and colleges during the school year, Radio 101 after-school intensives, and “pocket edition” workshops. Participating students learn the fundamentals of audio production, what makes a good story, how to write (and ask) good questions, how to research a subject, script-writing, voice technique, and how to put it all together into a piece suitable for broadcast. They create cut-and-copy pieces, feature stories, vox pops, personal reflection stories, and topical news stories, all of which are produced for broadcast on WFDD.
