Welcome to the Eagle Time! Podcast, created and led by middle school students at Colonel Joseph C. Rodriguez Prep Academy starting in 2023! With support from our teacher, Mr. Autrey, we interview authors, educators, community leaders, and the students and staff who make our school special. Our guests have also included famous names such as author Reyna Grande, actor Tony Plana and author T.Z. Layton, among others, and we love getting to know the people behind their stories.
Our students help create every part of the podcast, from researching guests and writing engaging scripts, to rehersing and recording interviews, creating original music, and editing episodes. Each episode takes teamwork, practice, and plenty of creativity. We’re proud to share what we create with our school and community, and we hope you enjoy watching and listening as much as we enjoy making it. Check us out on YouTube and Spotify!
