CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE
This audio interview is part of a series completed by STA journalism students who sat down with middle school students from around Kansas City. We hoped to find out the realities of middle school life, from dating to cliques, from playing violin to playing volleyball. The series was inspired by Ira Glass’s public radio show This American Life and its episode “Middle School.” Please check back each day for the next few weeks to listen to another installment.

Hey everybody Mallory Radtke here. I recently attended my cousin, Allison Wilkerson’s, wedding.
The reception was a typical dance party filled with lots of crazy stories. But there is nothing more interesting than getting a middle school boy’s perception of the event. Allison’s little brother Timmy was the perfect victim.
