Episode 4: Creative School Crossover
Is this a crossover episode? RTA is made up of more than just Media Production. In fact, RTA is just a small part of TMU’s Creative School. This week, the host Payton goes outside of Media Production to uncover what else goes on in the creative school. With interviews from Professional Music students and RTA’s other half, Sports Media, Payton goes on a journey to uncover which part of the creative school is right for her.
