Radio Host Creates Broadcast Camp and Book for Young Adults
Sam Alex
When COVID-19 caused camps to close this past summer, nationally syndicated radio show host Sam Alex knew he had to set up his own virtual camp.
“I was just so heartbroken because I loved being a camper and a counselor when I was young,” Alex said, in a phone interview with the Journal. “I can’t imagine where I’d be in the world and achieve what I have without it.”
So Alex set up Camp Broadcast, where young adults of all ages – from middle schoolers to college students – could tune in and learn radio hosting and reporting skills, find out how to get started in the industry and even interview celebrities like former football quarterback Donovan McNabb and Nickelodeon actress Siena Nicole Agudong.
