Catch the sounds and stories of Be Loud Summer Camp 2026! Featuring joy lists, golden mics, and a special day in the life segment - this episode was created by the 2026 Summer Camp Editing Squad!

Teens Talk AI was a three-day whirlwind where youth in New Orleans took a closer look at how AI is part of their lives. Students unpacked how they’re using AI tools already, where AI feels helpful (or stressful), what they still don’t understand about the technology, and how they hope AI might show up in the future. 

As part of that program, some youth led interviews with professionals who are thinking deeply about the impact of AI. Through these interviews, youth were able to ask questions, compare notes, and share experiences with these experts. We're excited to share those conversations here - come back for more of this series in the weeks to come!

To round out our Spring Season, DJ's were invited to bring whoever they wanted to interview into the studio! Check out a few of those conversations, along with Byron's Senior Sign-off!

For this episode, join us at the fifth annual Youth Voice Festival, held at Baldwin and Co. You'll hear some of the conversations held with Pass the Mic teachers, youth vendors, the production lab and more! 

Get ready to BE inspired - Be Loud DJs traveled down to Studio Be and spent the morning learning about the art and stories that fill the space. We sat down with some of the Studio Be staff to learn more about the space and also spent time reflecting on the mic about creativity, culture, and art in New Orleans. PLUS! DJ Fave does her Senior Sign Off.
