Alaska Teen Query: Gender Roles Are Wack, Yo

The Kachemak Bay Family Planning Clinic REC Room Peer Education team, led by Peer Ed Coordinator Tyler Schlieman, has launched a teen-created podcast series called Alaska Teen Query. The team of Peer Eds, ages 15-18, developed the podcast during a workshop facilitated by Alaskan nonprofit See Stories contractor Rafael Bitanga. Each teen created their episode based on a chosen sexual health-related topic, conducted interviews with community members and wove in their personal stories and perspectives. 

Peer Educator Mika Matysczak interviews Beth Schneider, Kyle Schneider, and Shanna Baxter about growing up with gender-based expectations, working in male-dominated fields, and who eventually winds up doing the dishes.
