KIDS FIRST!’s partner, Kidstar Radio Launches Kickstarter Campaign on Labor Day
Kidstar Radio Network, our partner that produces our KIDS FIRST! Coming Attractions radio show, is launching a Kickstarter campaign Sept. 1 for a new international program called Voyage Earth.
“I’ve never been so excited in my life,” said Perry Damone, CEO of Kidstar. “International children have been interested and now we have a proper way to introduce them to Kidstar.”
Voyage Earth is Kidstar’s newest program idea. The program will consist of children creating radio packages about current events that will then be used by larger news corporations just like a news wire service.
These packages will include everything from gang violence in the south side of Chicago to even family problems in the London to ‘Foodie News’ from Kid Chef Eliana.
“I think that when we give children a voice to such a large stage, people will listen,” said Damone. “These kids create professional shows and it is about time we get them to the professional limelight. We give the children the tools to create the shows and then we let them be the driver.”
The Kickstarter itself will run from Sept. 1 to Oct. 10.
Some of the rewards include:
• $25 – A personal thank you letter from the Kidstar staff and kids.
• $50 – A starter radio kit that includes a headset with a microphone, instructions to start a YouTube account and a tote bag with a Kidstar hat.
• $3,800 – An annual subscription to the Kidstar Radio Program for your school.Check it out, https://www.kickstarter.com/
