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, senior Alex Kennedy learns that he won’t pass the English class he needs to graduate, so he and his best friend plan a revenge prank on the teacher. The second story focuses on freshman Sidney Morrison, who only wants to leave the house–or at least spend time with her absent mother. But when she decides to sneak out with her friends, she discovers that staying home isn’t the worst thing that can happen during a pandemic.
