We are looking for young podcast hosts for Foyles Summer festival

[WordPlay]

Hello,

We are based in East dulwich and looking for young voices to host a podcast this summer for Foyles bookshop.

Foyles have asked us (WordPlay: Audio, Podcast & Radio Projects for Children) http://www.wordplayeducation.co.uk/ to create a second podcast series this year based on their summer Literary Festival for children & young adults - The Story Box Festival.

We created three podcast episodes last year with lots of friendly and confident children from East Dulwich last year and this year we are looking for more children to host the podcast! Here are the three previous episodes: http://www.wordplayeducation.co.uk/foyles-the-storybox-podcast/

We are looking for four children aged 9-16 to help us out to host the podcast - there will be several fantastic events throughout the summer reading festival and we would like our young hosts, presenters and reporters to interview authors, have discussions based on the events, read the script (and make any changes) for the podcast and present the festival news! Confident and fluent readers are a must!

If you would like your child/ren to take part, please do email us on [email protected] or send me a PM on here.

We have provisionally booked in dates for the podcast recording to take place on the shop floor of Foyles Charing Cross Road Branch - 2 children per date would be awesome:

Saturday 29th July 4.30pm - ages 9+

OR

Saturday 12th August 10am - ideally the two children recording on this date are aged 13+ as the events covered will be with Young Adult Authors.

The recording can take up to 2 hours (or longer depending on content we record)!

If your child would like to be involved but unable to make these dates, send us an email and once the programme of events is confirmed we can let you know which events we will be attending with our microphones and perhaps they would like to interview the author/illustrator etc - please note that most events are charged).

We're looking forward to hearing from you!
