The radio star is still at large

By Kallie Hansen

You may be cynic superstitious teen in a gang, a 12 year old with a serious gambling problem or a teenage homicidal maniac with an obsession with comic books. Don’t worry; if these options aren’t fantastical enough, there are plenty more outlandish stories to suit anyone’s fancy.
Young characters of the world unite though the infamous internet to share personal stories that may come with side effects (please ask your doctor before reading further). Nation Public Radio can’t seem to get enough of teenage angst, youthfulness and ingeniousness. The future journalists of the world, along with NPR have created a radio show prepared to dazzle, and quite possibly provoke thoughts, in order to promote intellectual growth.
Founded in 1990, the recognized radio show, Youth Radio, is quickly becoming the talk to the town and streaming live though the stereo of every soccer mom’s mini-van. Through this radio show, young writers share stories that could grace the cover of Newsweek, and possibly even The Onion.
Though the stories are part of their everyday lives, their accomplishments certainly are not. It has won various awards, including the Edward R. Murrow Award and the Peabody Award in 2001. Youth Radio is a non-profit show that hosts young people who in turn draw in the whopping 15 million listeners a year. With a station now available on iTunes, radio, especially for the youth, has come a long way since Edison's ideas came to life.
Youth Radio’s sole purpose isn’t just for entertainment, but to provide professional training and growth for teenagers with a potential career in commutations and fine arts. Very fine arts indeed, Youth Radio has even helped youngsters win awards, receive quality internships and even be featured in the pages of major publications with passionate stories and quirky anecdotes. With the youth in a harness, Youth Radio enables freedom to generate and animate with voice and personal expression.
So the only remaining question is did video really kill the radio star or did the 80’s just need another pop song?

Fickle Fudgies

By: Kallie Hansen
A giant sweatshirt with the words “Made in Michigan” sprawled across it, tan cargo shorts and an ostentatious pair of Crocs combine to create the ultimate tourist: The Fudgie.
Since the beginning of the fudge making century, people have been flocking to Northern Michigan for some fudge indulgence. No one is quite sure though how the remote area of Northern Michigan has become known to this many tourists.
Northern Michigan has it all: Ski hills, secluded beaches and most importantly, fudge. Fudgies come for this sweet confection and stay for the fun. Although locals may take this beautiful place for granted, Fudgies find it very appealing.
Thanks to these curious tourists, every summer Northern Michigan’s economy flourishes.
Local John Kohler is all about business. “Even though they over-populate the area in the summer, they really help our economy by their over-spending habits,” said the Harbor Springs businessman. “I even have friends who are Fudgies,” Kohler continued.
Even though they’re notorious for their atrocious driving, unfamiliar accents and addiction to fudge, thanks to their money Harbor Springs’ economy is unlike the rest of the state of Michigan’s.
Fudgies bring an influx of cash to Harbor Springs by staying at hotels, eating at restaurants and visiting sights. All of this results in jobs for us, the locals, and more income to the businesses. The more Fudgies that come, the more money follows. Spotting out a Fudgie within a sea may be easier than a Where’s Waldo? book, but let’s hope their compulsion for fudge never ceases to exist.
