The “80208” storytelling network is composed of three different podcasts with three different teams of DU students and faculty. The aim of the network is to document compelling stories that concern our audiences. Our hope is that DU students use our network and the “80208” podcast as a starting off point in the podcast production process. The network, most importantly, is a creative outlet for any DU student who wants to tell their story or anothers’.
Vision
We wish to foster an environment that allows for members of the community to practice their freedom of speech while at the same time recognizing and honoring the differences that are present between members of the community. We hope to welcome strangers and newcomers who are experienced with the craft, have no experience at all or somewhere in between.
