Radio in Schools launches its latest call for podcasts with ‘Small Talk’, in association with Fun Kids. For the whole of 2010, we’re calling all schools to create your own short podcasts sharing news from your school, with a selection being played out LIVE on Fun Kids and showcased on the Radio in Schools website.

Radio in Schools is a national podcasting service that promotes speaking, listening and creativity across the curriculum. Key to the service is the belief that everybody has a story to tell and somewhere to share them. Radio in Schools provides really simple online tools to create your podcasts and offers a platform so you can easily share your stories with local and national communities.

To enter:

Small talk will run throughout 2010 and we are looking for podcasts each month to be played out on Fun Kids and showcased on the Radio in Schools website. You could also win some fantastic prizes including one of three Roberts Stream83i radios – they pick up stations on DAB Digital Radio and internet radio, so you’ll be able to hear yourselves on Fun Kids.

Your podcast should be no longer than 3 mins long and can be about anything happening in your school including the following:

• A local trip
• School Visitors
• Interviews
• Local issues
• Book & Film Reviews
• Anything else that’s going on in your school!

Don’t forget there are loads of useful tips, guides, podcasts from the professionals and lesson plans in the Radio in Schools Resources section.

Each month, Fun Kids and Radio in Schools will pick the best podcast to be played out on air on Fun Kids.
