The Hear I Am podcast project provides a platform and creative outlet for individuals of all abilities.
Hear I Am is a free ongoing audio course for people living with disabilities. Participants enrolled in this course learn interviewing, audio and storytelling skills from radio professionals. The goal is to tell their own stories, not have stories told about them, to take back narrative control to learn and create their own radio pieces. These radio pieces are turned into a podcast, available on all podcast platforms and amplified by broadcast, on 94.1 FM WFNU-LP Frogtown Community Radio as part of an ongoing series.
This is a program by WFNU, Sounds Powerful Productions, and in partnership with Cow Tipping Press. Funded in part by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund that was created with the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008. Hear I Am is an ongoing project. Most current funding is on behalf of the Minnesota Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities and the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council.
