WNYC’s youth radio initiative, Radio Rookies, is presenting its new season of stories this week. These young journalists are between the ages of ages 16 to 24 and have come from all over New York City. They’ve spent the past few months developing story ideas, learning interview skills and how to use audio equipment, and maybe most important of all – learning how to make a good story for the radio waves.

We speak with Carolina Hidalgo, Producer of Radio Rookies and two Rookies themselves, Folashade Olatunde and Rainier Harris, and speak to them about their stories their stories and experiences working on those stories.
