Every Semester, the Full Time Internship Program at Teen Talk is responsible for team-production of Teen Talk Live- our hour long, live, call-in radio series. Like the documentaries, the topics of Teen Talk Live are "real and hard-hitting". Here we are in the studios of WNYE, wrapping up a typical Thursday evening at Teen Talk Live. Our topics this year included:

1. WHO WE ARE- a basic introduction of this year's interns and the programs slated to be produced.
