2024/25 Art of the Podcast: Radio Theater for Students
Our youth equity podcast project is developed and produced by History UnErased in collaboration with Houses on the Moon Theater Company. Our 2024/25 academic year offers an opportunity for high school US History II or US Government teachers to partner with us to introduce our "What Is Speech?" thematic unit to students and provide students the opportunity to record a "radio theater" using the complementing dramatic reading of an abridged transcript of the oral arguments in the Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission (2018) Supreme Court case.
Students will have the opportunity to record their "radio theater" podcast episode at the Clinton Global Initiative's Media Center.
"What Is Speech?" introduces how a court case advances to the Supreme Court, the procedures and protocols of the Supreme Court, and explores cases involving the First Amendment’s Free Exercise Clause, compelled speech doctrine, and the concept of compelling state (government) interest. The dramatic reading includes a narrator role for historical references and clarifications and prompts for discussion.
High school US History II or US Government teachers can contact us to request an application HERE.

Previous Art of the Podcast episodes were the product of a semester-long story-telling process allowing students to amplify their voices and share the stories they want and need to tell. Have a listen to our Pilot Season and Season One!
