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 freshman girl convinces her parents to foster a dog only to find out that taking care of a pet is harder than she thought.  The second story focuses on a trio of seniors going to up a mountain cabin on the day before what would have been graduation. What starts as a celebration turns into a deep exploration of the worries these seniors have bout leaving high school and heading into an unknown future.
