School holiday podcasting workshops (2 hrs)
Welcome to the school holiday workshops that hand children the microphone!
Got an idea for a podcast?
Ever dreamed of hearing your own voice on the radio?
Is there something the world absolutely needs to hear?
An original song, a bum joke, a heartfelt poem, or a story only you can tell?
Then this is your moment!
Let your kids bring their creativity, ideas, best or wackiest ideas to life via this Podcasting Basics workshop
First hour: Podcasting Basics
In the first hour, Kayla and Kat will run a super‑fun podcasting masterclass made just for kids.
They’ll show the children what gear they need, how to set it up, and how to record their voice so it sounds awesome.
They will learn where they can share their podcasts and how to turn their ideas into a real episode.
By the end, they'll be ready to hit record and make their own show.
Second hour: Time To Hit Record!
Then in the second hour, kids get to use everything you’ve learned.
Everyone will record their own 60–90 seconds of audio, a mini‑podcast made by each of them.
It could be a story, a joke, a review, anything they want.
And the coolest part? Their recording will be played on The Westsider Radio during Book Week,
so the whole community can hear their creation.
