This week, I'm sharing a little extracurricular work. While in production on Story Girl, I was also teaching a podcasting course at Ratihén:te High School. In this class, the students researched, wrote and hosted their own historical biographies. This episode features two stories from the world sports, two world-class snipers, a fashion designer, and rock royalty.

The work featured here was produced by the students of Ratihén:te High School as part of Writers in the Community, a program run by the Quebec Writers’ Federation. The Writers in the Community program would not be possible without the support of:

The Canada Council for the Arts

The Government of Canada

Le Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ)

The Electronic Recycling Association

The Batshaw Foundation

Shell

Donors to the QWF Pyramid Campaign

Eric T. Webster Foundation

George Hogg Family Foundation

Fondation Charles Cusson

Hylcan Foundation

The Hay Foundation

Zeller Family Foundation
