Hush, Jr: develop a sci-fi podcast
Write the script, compose the music, act the role!
Help create an original story heard on the radio, iTunes, Stitcher and Google Play Music
Having completed season 1 of its sci-fi series #HUSHpodcast, the HUSH team has expanded to form a junior level especially for middle school students. Do you like to write? Act out a character? Compose music? Play instruments? Draw? Sing? Create sound effects? Be a part of dreaming up a new universe of characters and story connected to, but independent of, the Edellen portal.
The first episode of the HUSH-Jr series was performed live at the Phipps on July 27 and aired on KLBB the first Saturday of September on the radio show Voices in the Valley . It will soon be as a part of the HUSH podcast series on iTunes, Stitcher and GooglePlay Music. We have more episodes to write and perform, and we want you to join the team!
