Finding Their Voice
Kids learn to share their ideas with confidence and the kind of storytelling voice that makes you want to hit replay.
We Make Learning Fun
Kids have so much fun in podcast camp, they don’t realize how much they’re learning about storytelling, writing, and problem-solving.
Creator Instead of Consumer
Kids go from watching screens to creating with them — recording and editing their own stories with tools that are easy to learn and fun to use.
More than 400 SmartyPants have already been through podcast camp and had a blast learning to tell stories and make their own podcasts.
Each week you get
- A few short, engaging video lessons taught by Trusty, designed for busy kids with kid-size attention spans (5–10 minutes each)
- Worksheets to guide each step
- A safe, moderated forum with feedback from Trusty on your child’s work
- Personalized help along the way anytime they need it, right in the forum
- Monthly LIVE Q&A sessions to answer questions live on video
- Easy to follow guides, and no need to get any new gear or equipment
The course is yours to keep forever, and so is your forum access, so if your kid doesn’t finish in four weeks because of vacations, holidays, a busy season at school or whatever – no problem – we’re still there to help whenever they are ready.

Testimonials
We’ve been Who Smarted? superfans for almost three years. Trusty basically rides shotgun every time we are in the car. When I saw they were doing a Podcast Camp, my son Tyler practically begged me to sign him up. I figured he’d enjoy it but I wasn’t prepared for how into it he got. The thing that surprised me most was the writing side. He had to actually research his topic (sharks, obviously), figure out what was interesting versus what was just a fact, and then make it funny. Plus he learned how his favorite show gets made. Worth every penny.
My daughter Nora is 10 and has said “Dad I want to be a YouTuber” since she was 6, which as a parent is a sentence that fills you with dread. Podcast Camp was the first thing I’ve found that actually engages that creator instinct in a productive way. She wasn’t just randomly making stuff, she was learning structure, pacing, and how to write for the ear. The instructors treated the kids like real creators, not like kids being kept busy!
Podcast Camp was so fun. I made an episode about megalodons and I got to do my own voice for it and pick the sound effects. The hardest part was writing the script because you have to make it sound like you’re talking to someone, not like a book report. Trusty was on video which was so awesome and we got to learn how the real Who Smarted? episodes get made. My favorite part was recording. Next I want to do an episode about the Bermuda Triangle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is it worth?
Comparable classes cost $200+, and that’s without the support of creators like Jerry and Tex who have a huge track record of success. With the support forum, videos, worksheets and live Q&A, this course is valued at over $299.
What if my child doesn’t want to be a podcaster?
That’s totally fine. Most kids won’t become podcasters, just like most kids who take art class won’t become artists. The skills they learn — storytelling, communication, organizing ideas, and speaking with confidence — are useful for life.
What age range is this for?
The camp is designed for kids ages 6–11 who enjoy storytelling and want to learn how podcasts are made. Parents may also enjoy participating with their kids.
What equipment does my kid need?
Just:
- a computer, phone, or tablet
- internet access
- a quiet space
Kids can record using the built-in mic on their device and free recording software recommended in the course. Upgraded equipment is optional.
When are the Q&A sessions?
There will be one or two live Q&A sessions every month, on weekends. Kids can submit their questions ANYTIME for help in our moderated forum.
Is the cost per child or household?
The price is per household, so multiple kids can participate.
The live video platform may limit sign-ins to one device at a time, so siblings may need to share a screen.
Will the Trusty Narrator really be on camera?
Trusty is on camera teaching the video modules, and he will be live in some of the Q&As.
Is there a refund policy?
You may get a full no questions asked refund anytime.
Will my child get feedback and support?
Yes.
Kids can:
- ask questions in a private moderated forum
- share their work
- receive feedback from Jerry and Tex
- get help during live Q&A sessions.
What will my child create?
By the end of the program, your child will create a complete podcast episode, including:
- topic selection
- script writing
- recording
- editing
- publishing
They will learn the same storytelling techniques used in Who Smarted?.
What if my child doesn’t finish right away?
No problem. Kids have lifetime access and can complete the camp at any pace. Support remains available through the forum and email.
How is the camp delivered?
All lessons are delivered online through a private learning portal accessible from a computer or tablet. Login details are provided after enrollment.
A single podcasting class costs $300+. Podcast Camp is $150 for the whole household, with lifetime access, including access to Trusty and Tex for feedback in the forum!
