Starting January 2010, Deborah Pardes, creator and host of Get Smart Radio, began offering a series of workshops for young adults. These workshops (in Venice, California) are 2 hour sessions, once a week, for 6 weeks. In the final week of the course, Get Smart Radio broadcasts  live shows that feature the students as guest hosts and interviewers.
