The Smyrna High School TV & Film Production department has announce an exciting student-led takeover of the school’s premier athletic podcast, The Dawg Cast.
Students in the TV & Film Production program will manage all phases of production, from audio and video engineering to editing, and graphic design each week.
New episodes premiere every Wednesday evening on the official Smyrna High School YouTube channel at youtube.com/@smyrnabulldog. Viewers can expect a comprehensive look at the school's sports culture, featuring in-depth interviews with coaches, standout student-athletes, and special guests spanning every sport on campus.
"This partnership gives our production students an authentic, real-world learning environment," said Kyle Dietz, TV & Film Production Teacher. "They aren't just learning theory in a classroom; they are producing a professional media product that highlights our school's hardworking student-athletes and coaches for the entire community to see."
The collaboration bridges the gap between CTE and school spirit, allowing student producers to hone technical skills in broadcast journalism, live switching, post-production audio mixing, and digital media management.
