Description:

This week we bring you a special episode from Simran Gupta, one of our 2024 Podcast Fellows.

Maggie LeBeau is a senior at Glenbard East High School in Lombard, Illinois. Because this is her first podcasting experience, she is excited to learn from professionals and her peers about audio storytelling and exploring youth political engagement. Maggie has been involved in journalism since her freshman year as a writer for her school's newspaper, the Echo, and has served as editor-in-chief for three years. Outside of school, she is a part of the Media Wise Teen Fact-Checking Network, making videos about media literacy and misinformation for young people. In 2022, she was a finalist for the PBS Student Reporting Labs Student Journalism Challenge, and in 2023, she won the Harvard Crimson Journalism Reporting Competition. Maggie also attended the Eastern Illinois University Summer Journalism Workshop in 2022 and the Boston University Summer Journalism Institute in 2023. In December, she was selected as a PBS Student Reporting Labs fellow, attending their winter academy on video storytelling. Next year, she plans on majoring in journalism and political science at the University of Missouri, hoping to spend her career reporting on politics.
