The tour started with running amok in the lobby area. To contain the boys they then led us to the break room where we got a brief overview of what radio is and what Public Radio is, then of to the On-Air control room.
The boys all got a quick lesson in how stuff gets on the air. He explained what all of the equipment in the racks did. How it receives pre-recorded and streamed content from NPR and other shows they purchase to air, also how the signal is transfered from here at PCC up to the top of Mount Wilson where it is sent out.
The boys were most impressed with the big red light, with a sign that read "do not press the red button"
From there we went to Studio 2 where they have guests come in for interviews. Everyone got a chance to talk into a microphone and listen through headphones.

As the boys took turns at the microphones the others went to the control room where they applied effects to distort and change their voices. The boys went wild! A big thanks to the KPCC staff for being so comfortable with 6 boys going crazy with the equipment.
Next event...... Pinewood Derby on April 19!!!
