Borah Pridecast

In Episode #40, we offer some teacher quick takes on that universal part of everyone’s school experience: lunch in the cafeteria. Ms. Compton, Mr. Rose and your host spent some time in the studio reminiscing over our own histories with school cafeterias of our pasts, and then we recently spent a lunch period gathered at one of round tables in the Borah Cafeteria, paid our 5 dollars and 10 cents, gobbled down our crispy chicken salads, and contemplated meal time at this school. and you’ll get to hear all about those experiences. You’ll also hear Mr. Rose’s Prep Period Cold Call with Borah’s Food Service Manager, Mrs. Chipman, who offers some fascinating insights on the daily routine of feeding Borah’s students. You’ll also find out that once all the kids are gone and tables wiped off, Borah’s cafeteria becomes a cool venue for other events here at the school Thanks for listening! These are Borah Voices!

The Pridecast is set to go for Season 7 and the podcast crew is eager to drop some episodes. Stay tuned, too, for the 2nd Season of Borah Voices, the completely student generated podcast from Borah High School. It's going to be a great year! These are Borah voices.

Episode #3 finds the podcast team sliding into the 4th quarter with the slight, exciting twinge of summer break on the horizon. We chat up students standing in line for the Friday Food Trucks; seniors share their graduation plans, the podcast crew introduce themselves. We also reached into the Borah Pridecast archives to retrieve Mr. Rose's Prep Period Cold Call with Mrs. Atkins, and a short excerpt of Rueben's interview with fiction, film criticism and former comedy writer for The Onion, Fran Hoepfner.

Welcome to Episode 1 of Borah Voices -- A sister podcast of the Borah Pridecast and the first podcast in the Boise School District (and probably the state of Idaho) produced, recorded, and edited solely and completely by students. Your hosts for this episode, Camille, Tommy, and Scarlett, bring listeners on a Cross Country team bus trip, then record "Man-on-the-street" style among the throng of Borah students at this year's Homecoming Carnival. Then it's off to the Team HOME Walk for Huntington's Disease , and finally an interview with comic book artist, author and Borah High alum, Terry Blas. Thanks for listening! Subscribe! These are (and this is) Borah Voices!

Carlos and Miles talk some shop, Tommy talks to band kids, an interview with Borah Tennis Coach, Mr. Stafford, and the Borah Debaters talk really fast and will argue about anything! These are Borah Voices!

Well, it's October at Borah (it's October everywhere, probably), and our seniors are starting to get the College itch. Time to start thinking FAFSA, letters of rec requests(we hear plying a certain English teacher with a bottle or two of strawberry milk will greatly improve that recommendation letter!), and making that list of potential schools. In this episode, Ethan chats up Borah's College and Career counselor, Jenni Kimball, and Santiago sits down with the College of Western Idaho's Latinx Student Services Coordinator, Javier Garcia. Some great advice in this episode for any students thinking about their future after high school. These are Borah Voices!

On Saturday, February 1, 2020 Jad Abumrad, host of Radio Lab and Dolly Parton’s America podcast series, visited the Borah High School library in Boise. For over an hour, in a library jammed with eager students, Jad graciously sat for an interview with Borah Pridecast student host, Ellie Smith (graduating class of 2020!). A few weeks later, the COVID-19 pandemic surged, and the school year went virtual; the Pridecast studio was shuttered for the next 14 months. So, for Episode #25, the Pridecast team offers its listeners that full interview – made possible with some generous help from the The Cabin, Idaho’s literary arts nonprofit organization, and the podcast team for Boise State Public Radio News’ “You Know the Place” podcast. Thanks for listening. These are Borah Voices!

School in the time of Coronavirus. We interview some students about their day-to-day lives during the pandemic.
