We love what we do and all have unique stories that have brought us here to create more opportunities and experiences for kids.
Growing up dyslexic made everything related to schooling extremely
challenging for me. Simply sitting still and making it through
class was a struggle.
Despite these difficulties, I am one of the founders of CallCast,
ClubCast, and Youth Voices. I strongly believe in the unique power
that everyday conversations can have in a young kid's life. Using
podcasting as an educational tool to create opportunities is a
mission I am deeply passionate about, and it resonates with me on
a very personal level. The curriculum we teach goes beyond just
podcasting; it is designed to instill self-confidence, technical
literacy, conversational skillsets, and network building for job
opportunities.

Podcasting is engaging and when kids are actively engaged,
they're not just participating; they're absorbing, learning, and
expanding.

Podcasting is a secret tool for creating opportunities, building
relationships and changing the landscape for kids who get a
chance to experience it.
We dream big. Our goal is to help kids discover and grasp their highest level of potential using podcasts as a vehicle and tool for creativity, learning and discovery.
Our dream is to provide the tools and knowledge for kids to learn and flourish using podcasting as a vehicle to prove to them that they have what it takes to make an impact on the world.
The more you do it the better you get. Our aim is to publish so much content that displays the learnings, thoughts and ideas from our community of kids.
Our goal is to help kids level up their skills, build relationships and create opportunities.
By bringing podcasting into your club, school or organization you will unlock a new world of information, creativity, ideas and connections for your members.
Relationships and connections are formed though thoughtful and in-depth conversations that take place on podcasts. When your kids start a podcast, they are building bridges to form valuable life changing relationships.
Podcasts contain a world within themselves that are the perfect
platform to teach kids in a new way -- a way that speaks the
language that your kids will be interested in.
When you start a podcast you are learning everything from
research skills, how to connect with guests, the art of
interviewing, the art of storytelling, music and sound design,
artwork for the podcast covers and marketing skills. There is so
much to learn when it comes to creating a podcast.
Podcasting is an educational tool. It is a way for us to learn about ourselves. Podcasting forces us to get out of our comfort zones but in a safe and thoughtful way.
At the core of podcasting is making connections and building relationships. A key aspect to success in life is having access to a large network of people who are rooting for you to succeed and actively helping promote you. We teach our network of kids how to leverage podcasts to build valuable relationships.
There are so many aspects to creating a podcast and a variety of different podcasts to explore. One comment thread that runs through all the different podcasts are the skillsets that kids will learn to produce a podcast, conduct interviews and market their shows. Not only is podcasting a fun activity but it has valuable skills that are learned and reinforced.
