Podcast Production
September 4, 2019 | Posted in Uncategorized | By Alexandria Searls
Hi Everyone! We’re excited to be recording the next installment of our podcast on Saturday, September 7th! We got a grant for this podcast from American Evolution as part of their year-long celebration and commemoration in Virginia. It’s our reader’s theater piece “A Vote for Democracy,” which allows students and visitors to examine important decisions made concerning the Corps of Discovery.
We’ll be preparing for the podcast recording on Friday and in production on Saturday, so we’ll be closed to the public those days. We hope to share our podcast with you, so keep tuned!
