A little bit of background on the So Kids SOAR Podcast:
YPTS 2021 graduate Michael Simmons is another reason of how we augmented our Your Path To Success program to create a pipeline of talent to fulfill our own staffing needs and create micro-entrepreneurs. Michael is an incredible storyteller and expressed his love for creating videos, animation, comic characters, and much more! We helped Michael channel his creativity by securing a paid internship with PodTechs, a podcasting company. After three summers at PodTechs with founder Dustin Canter; and through the confidence he built as a So Kids SOAR (SKS) virtual art clinic instructor; Michael created a proposal for an SKS podcast. He diligently worked on the content, format, and honed his editing/production skills and interview skills to prepare for its launch in January 2025-even creating the cover art himself.  Michael is graduating with a degree in graphic design and a minor in computer science from McDaniel College May 2026! We're excited for you to listen in on the SKS podcast episodes below, which highlight different members of our community -- from participants to sponsors! Thank you to the presenting funders of our podcast: PodTechs, Kimsey Foundation, and Panda Exteriors.
