CUEcast

CUEcast is the weekly podcast of YouthCUE.

Released every Tuesday morning at 6AM Central, each episode is packed with information and inspiration for student choir leaders, music educators, ministers, teenage singers, parents of youth choir kids, YouthCUE alumni, YouthCUE donors, and all other interested parties.

Episodes include interviews

with composers, directors, music educators, student choir singers, youth ministers, professional artists, YouthCUE alumni, YouthCUE program participants, and more. Often, musical excerpts are included designed to inspire and inform listeners of new anthem resources.
