Sending Messages: The Podcast
True stories, poetry, interview and radio plays written, performed and produced by youth in a secure care facility in Salt Lake City, Utah.

This year the students in Sending Messages tried to make a holiday podcast, but didn't really get too far. Instead, enjoy poetry and letters about loss, lockup, and love from AktivE, Tina, Static, Scar, and C-Dot, as well as conversations featuring Virtuosity, AktivE, Static, Phoenix, C-Dot, G-Man, and Ruthless. This episode was mixed and hosted by Phoenix. Happy Holidays.

Join us on this house tour. Walk through the halls, peek in the rooms, and climb the stairs. This isn't just any house. This is a house made of memories. Bricks carved out of trauma, doors cracked by anger and floors worn by fear. But all of the locks are open, and the stories these walls are ready to tell are desperate to be heard. So come in.

Poetry and interviews for this episode by the following:

The kitchen - Virtuosity

The Closet - Star

The Bathroom - Tina Posole

What Home Means - Waffles & Answer

The Bedroom - K One

The Basement - Icarus

The Elevator - Kenzo

The Rooftop - Ghetti

Guiding us through this tour of the house is our resident Real Estate Agent, Scarr.  Stay close and don't wander off. She is the one with the keys.

Thanks for listening.
