<\/a>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.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019ve never been so excited in my life,\u201d said Perry Damone, CEO of Kidstar. \u201cInternational children have been interested and now we have a proper way to introduce them to Kidstar.\u201d<\/p>\n
Voyage Earth is Kidstar\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
These packages will include everything from gang violence in the south side of Chicago to even family problems in the London to \u2018Foodie News\u2019 from Kid Chef Eliana.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that when we give children a voice to such a large stage, people will listen,\u201d said Damone. \u201cThese 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Kickstarter itself will run from Sept. 1 to Oct. 10.<\/p>\n
Some of the rewards include:<\/p>\n
