As the first Australian children's radio station, we broadcast 24/7 to bring you the best in family music and entertainment from Australian and International Artists.
Funky Kids Radio is entirely devoted to bringing music into kids lives and "rocking their world"!
We currently broadcast three regular programmes - Traffic Jam Trax is an interview program all about music which airs 4pm AEDT and US Eastern Time. We have already interviewed Cate McQuillen from DirtGirlWorld, Kate Rowe and Peter Combe and had a very special jolly fellow come on at Christmas.
TackleNappy is a show by Dads for Dads. "Join us each week at 9pm AEDT and 9pm US EST as we discuss parenting and life topics relevant to mums and dads of all ages, including parents in the making. We'll mix current news stories with bad dad jokes, bring you our favourite kid-friendly songs and share our kids' favourite 'adult-friendly' songs." You can check out Chubba and Bucky's blog here.
Primary Perspectives is a show produced in Melbourne, Australia and is "Radio for Kids, By Kids". We are excited to be broadcasting their work and supporting the education of kids in the media. Primary Perspectives was awarded Australia’s ‘Best New Radio Program – Talks’ at the 2012 CBAA Awards.
Listen to Primary Perspectives Tuesdays at 4pm AEST
