Last year, 8 of Brooklyn’s best and brightest were selected to spend 12 weeks learning how to write, produce, record and edit a podcast as part of BRIC’s second-ever Podcast Intensive. Armed with zoom recorders and with headphones up, these burgeoning audio stars took us into the basements and backrooms of the foodservice industry, on a life-and-death search through 3 million acres of national park, into the music that defines our existence, and inside a memory from seven summers ago. In November, the cohort gathered in the BRIC ballroom for a live showcase of their work hosted by special projects manager Liam Billingham, and media artist and program instructor Nicole Solomon.

#BHeardAmplified is a new BRIC initiative that meets emerging producers where they live and gives them the tools and the know-how to tell the stories that they think matter most. Producer Sriyanka Ray and media artist Nicole Solomon spent eight weeks in Brownsville as part of a collaboration with The Neighborhood Opportunity Network (NeON) teaching a small group of students how to develop a podcast. This month, we’re sharing stories from 7 of Brooklyn’s newest audio-makers.
