alt.NPR: Youthcast from PRX

“Kentucky Fried Cancer” is the name of this episode of YO!Radio, produced by Youth Outlook, a mini youth media empire in San Francisco. They’ve got a magazine,  have a show on community access TV, and are all up on the Internet with videos and news reports. When YO!Radio airs on the actual radio, it is for commercial radio on “Street Soliders,” 106.1 KMEL.  So, Yo!Radio has a fun, quicker-paced commercial feel that you don’t hear much in youth radio, which is usually produced for public radio. Hard news gets mixed with candid commentary and hip-hop.

“Kentucky Fried Cancer” looks at how fast food goes beyond making you a little chubbier: Pizza Hut is now teaching kids to read.
