Our Point of View was played on CBC’s Ottawa Morning today. Here’s what it sounded like:
Episode 10 was completed on yet another snow day. Buses were cancelled due to snow and freezing rain – so we only had a handful of students. Even Mr. Toft didn’t make it in this time.
In this episode we have a report from Charles about a volleyball tournament at our school. Lindsay and Allie bring us some sound about navigation from their Grade 6 field trip to the aviation museum We also have a couple of public service announcements about drugs and alcohol. Remi brings his second episode about rocks and minerals. Robin finds out what our classes think about the Ottawa Senators coach being fired. Listen for Tyrell playing Finger Eleven on electric guitar. Ryan and Taylor bring us a report about recess football. Finally, we have voicemail from a Carleton University journalism student who is hoping to film a documentary about how we make podcasts.

On these days when buses are cancelled, those of us hardy enough to come to school have been asking the question: Is it better to stay in town or go away during March break.
The students behind Portable Radio have some opinions about this question.
