At its core, KidsCast is about helping students find their voice.
Australia’s first school podcasting initiative
KidsCast is Australia’s first school podcasting initiative, helping schools amplify student voice, build confidence, and strengthen literacy through student-created podcasts.
Designed specifically for schools, KidsCast combines simple recording equipment, structured guidance, and professional audio support to make podcasting easy and sustainable within the school environment.
Equipment Designed for Schools
KidsCast provides industry-leading, broadcast-quality podcasting equipment designed specifically for use in schools.
Our setup uses simple headset microphones that students are already familiar with using both at school and at home, making the recording process comfortable and easy.
All equipment is clearly colour coded so students can set up quickly and independently.
We also provide a student-led instructional setup video and educator guides that explain how to plan and run podcast sessions.
Supported Every Step of the Way
Our team visits your school to help launch your podcast and assist with recording your first episode, ensuring staff and students feel confident using the equipment and recording format.
Schools can then continue producing episodes with ongoing support from the KidsCast team.
