High School East Student Podcasts Receive NY Times Honors
Hills Review, the HS East Student Podcast, is proud to announce that three podcasts submitted by HS East students were honored in the New York Times Student Podcast Contest.
The contest invited teenagers 19 and under to create an original audio program, five minutes or less, about anything they wanted. Of the nearly 900 submissions from students all over the world, three podcasts submitted by Half Hollow Hills HS East were recognized this year — one honorable mention and two finalists.
Congratulations to all of the podcast finalists!
Below is the January 2019 Edition of Hills Review:
