BCB has joined the BARN family!
After 3 years of all-volunteer community podcasting, BCB is now excited, effective as of the start of this year, to have joined the BARN family at Bainbridge Artisan Resource Network! The new setting allows more volunteers to become actively and creatively involved.
BCB will continue producing podcasts intended to strengthen community. And now with BARN, we’ve created a new Media Arts and BCB Studio that offers classes and events in audio and video production, community podcasting, and social media.
To see our upcoming classes and events, click on this link to our BARN Studio classes and events calendar.
BARN’s Media Arts and BCB Studio joins 10 other existing artisan craft studios.
You can now find us and other like-minded Media Arts enthusiasts in the newly-built 25,000 square-foot, two-floor BARN center on Three Tree Lane, off New Brooklyn Road.

Bainbridge Island Specials
When there’s something special occurring on Bainbridge Island, there’s an opportunity to hear it in this diverse and eclectic set of BCB podcasts — whether it’s a cast doing a radio play, a panel of clergy standing up against climate change, or voices at a vigil at the Japanese-American memorial.

Bainbridge Video Podcasts
When there’s something that is worth seeing in the community, and not just hearing about, BCB will present it as a video podcast.
Some video podcasts tell lively stories about the community, such as the opening of Owen’s Playground. Other videos will illustrate a “how to…” idea, perhaps showing how to make something special at a BARN artisan craft studio.

Our BCB project spans the generations — seniors, other adults, teenagers. And our current group of more than 12 active adult volunteers is supplemented by the students of Bainbridge High School’s Spartan News.
BCB will continue to seek local volunteers — with or without prior radio or podcast experience — to fill openings for interview hosts, studio techs, audio editors, and social media publishers.
