  • Great platform for kids to speak their mind!

    I love how this podcast encourages kids to speak their minds rather than suppress them. Hopefully, this can help in ensuring the next generation of leaders work together instead of apart, to find solutions to this world’s issues.

  • Great addition to the Kidfinity Studios lineup!

    Love how the debaters are so professional in their speaking. In comparison to the polarization of US politics, the kids show that when we enter a discussion with an open mind, we can really find bipartisan solutions. First time I’ve seen something like this and I’m impressed!
