The Frederick Scout has partnered with the Frederick Theatre Department to produce QuaranTEEN, a new podcast about teenagers dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic by teenagers dealing with the COVID-19 epidemic. The podcast is produced almost entirely by students recording their lines remotely and editing the final podcast themselves.

In this episode, a teenage girl named Allison is thriving despite the pandemic until a car accident derails her life. Allison’s friend gives her the opportunity to get a new car, but will Allison be able to do what’s necessary to get her new car? The second story features Ben Hughes, a lazy gamer who suddenly finds himself in charge of a spunky nine-year-old girl. Will Ben rise to the challenge of babysitting, or will the little girl get the better of him?
