From the Other Side of the Screen: Keep climbin' the mountain, baby!

From the Other Side of the Screen: Keep climbin' the mountain, baby!

Author: SLHS Lions' Roar Student Newspaper November 18, 2020 Duration: 56:32

Behind the Roar host, senior and Lions' Roar photo editor Aly Furstenau is joined by senior and Lions' Roar Editor-in-Chief Ava Mac to discuss the challenges faced on the other side of the screen in a virtual and hybrid learning environment when they are joined by social studies teachers Ms. Alicia Colley and Mr. Christopher Schroudt. 


There's a distinct energy that comes from a high school hallway, a mix of aspiration, uncertainty, and raw opinion that rarely makes it to the front page. Behind the Roar captures that sound directly, moving beyond the printed word of the SLHS Lions' Roar Student Newspaper. Each episode is built from conversations with the South Lyon High School student body, giving a voice to the diverse perspectives that shape the community. You'll hear unfiltered discussions on everything from local events and school culture to the broader issues that teenagers are navigating today. This podcast serves as an audio companion to their written work, delving deeper into stories with the people who live them. It’s a chance to listen in on the genuine dialogue happening in the halls, cafeterias, and classrooms. For a fuller picture, the team often encourages exploring their web articles, but here, the focus is purely on the spoken word and the authentic voices behind it. Tune in for a direct line to what students are really thinking and talking about.
