Description: What can middle and high school students teach us? What do they care about? And how do they observe their communities and themselves?

NPR's Student Podcast Challenge results are in. It's time to hear what the kids have to say.

Today on The Sunday Story, Ayesha Rascoe sits down with producers Janet Woojeong Lee and Lauren Migaki, who run the contest, to discuss the 2023 edition. We hear from Dylan McDonald of Massachusetts who's in the midst of a gender transition and from Jiah Hwang on the heartbreaking moment that reinvigorated her relationship with her sister. Amelia Hankinson brings us an ode to growing taller, and undocumented students talk about the way they see their lives now.
