Make your own podcast at the Who SMarted? online podCAST camp
WHO SMARTED? PODCAST CAMP is a super fun, online experience that guides
Smartypants through the entire process of creating, recording, editing their VERY OWN PODCAST!
That’s right, the creators of WHO SMARTED? – one of the top family podcasts in the world – are sharing everything they know to help turn your child into a podcaster just like them! Hundreds of SmartyPants just like your child have gone through camp and loved it – some testimonials below!
Along the way, we’ll help build your child’s confidence, cultivate their creativity, and enhance their communication skills – valuable whether or not your child wants to be a podcaster.
Best of all, this is a totally online, self-paced course designed for Smartypants and SmartyFamilies to
fit into a busy schedule. Everything you need is available online whenever you need it.
The Trusty Narrator from Who Smarted? (aka Jerry) and Chet
Nickerson (Adam “Tex”) from Who Smarted? appear on camera in short videos teaching all the tricks of the trade they use to create one of the biggest and best family podcasts in
the world!
Each easy-to-follow, video lesson is about 5 to 10 minutes long, and designed to hold kid’s interest and keep them engaged without overwhelming them.
In addition to the videos, there are instructive worksheets; a private, moderated, kid-safe FORUM where Trusty and Chet give feedback on your kid’s work and answer any questions they have – plus monthly bonus LIVE video Q&A sessions where your Smartypants can ask Trusty and Chet questions in real time!
By the end of camp, your Smartypants will have created a finished podcast episode they”ll be excited to share. Even more importantly, they will experience what it feels like to turn an idea into something real — just like we did with WHO SMARTED?!
A NOTE FROM TRUSTY:
Hey SmartyParents and SmartyFriends,
After five years of making Who Smarted?, we’re showing the Smartypants (AKA your kids) just how we do it. And we’re giving everyone the tools and knowledge to make their very own podcast! This is the program I wish existed when I was their age. I can’t wait to see (and hear) what you create!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why this price?
We want every family to be able to afford this. The $147 is what comparable courses charge.
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.

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 $97 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 the some of the Q&As.
Is there a refund policy?
You may get a full no questions asked refund anytime within the first week after purchase.
Will my child get feedback and support?
Yes.
Kids can:
- ask questions in a private moderated forum

No problem. Kids have lifetime access and can complete the camp at any pace. Support remains available through the forum and email.
