The mission of the Alaska Teen Media Institute is to provide teens with the tools and training needed to produce stories and with the opportunity for their stories - told in their own voices - to be shared through a variety of media. ATMI believes the teen perspective is valuable and under-represented. The Alaska Teen Media Institute is a program under the umbrella of Spirit of Youth, 501 (c)(3).

May is Mental Health Awareness month, so we centered our show around that. We chatted with Charlene Aqpik Apok, the founder and executive director of Data For Indigenous Justice (12:27) about the work the organization is doing. ATMI producers Mo Spooner and Rhys James sat down with Nick Carpenter of Medium Build to talk about his recent shows at Bear Tooth (27:21).

Plus Kaylee reported on recent local and national news stories (06:00) and Robbie highlighted some upcoming all-ages events around town (42:28).
