Fusion Youth Radio (FYR) features young people making their voices a part of history through creative, youth-produced media. FYR is rooted in the idea that all of us deserve opportunities to tell our stories in our own words. We believe that young people must work together to take on active roles in shaping the futures of our communities. Our name honors the legacy of the Fusion politics movement of North Carolina in the 1890s, a bi-racial coalition that gained power across the state before coming to a violent end at the hands of white supremacists in 1898. We seek to bring together youth with many backgrounds to create the sort of community that not even the “Fusionists” imagined.
FYR LIVE
FYR LIVE was born out of the initiative of our first group of talented youth producers and partnerships with Sacrificial Poets and WXYC. Our live, youth-hosted program airs the third Sunday of each month at 5 pm on 89.3 FM and at wxyc.org. Listen to live shows!
FYR Workshops
FYR began in June 2011 as a summer audio production workshop. Through our summer audio workshops and our after-school production workshops during the academic year, FYR youth reporters learn techniques for documentary-style radio production. They are charged with cultivating their curiosity and bringing the concerns of their communities to the airwaves. Listen to youth-produced stories!
