PODSQUAD - EP1 (LVSD DEC 2024)

PodSquad

Welcome to PODSQUAD, the podcast that feels like a sleepover, a food fight, and a rocket launch all rolled into one. It’s part debate club, part comedy roast, and part middle school madness, and it’s unapologetically alive with chaotic energy.

We’re talking wild discussions about Gen Z slang (Skibbity bop? Ohio drip? We’ve got you), Roblox vs. Minecraft showdowns so heated they’d melt a cheese pizza, and a deep dive into why socks and sandals are a one-way ticket to fashion jail. Oh, and did someone steal an entire bridge in Ohio? Yup, we cover that too. Nothing is off-limits.

Expect opinions flying faster than a Formula One car, headlines getting brain-rot translations so good they could go viral, and the ultimate pizza tasting that might just inspire a documentary. Whether it's inventing fake sponsors (we see you, Bread) or debating the finer points of pooping at school, it’s a rollercoaster of hilarious takes and weirdly insightful moments.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a group of unstoppable middle schoolers grab a mic and say everything the adults won’t, this is it. It's unfiltered, it's ridiculous, and it’s hands down the most fun you’ll have listening to a podcast. Buckle up, because the vibes are immaculate. Skibbity bop bop bop!

PodSquad transforms middle schoolers into podcast powerhouses in 13 high-energy weeks. Like School of Rock for the digital age, we pair kids with industry pros who know their stuff and aren't afraid to make learning fun. Students don't just learn about podcasting – they dive in headfirst, getting their hands on pro equipment, crafting original stories, and building the confidence to share their unique voices with the world.

From day one, it's about unleashing creativity and making real connections. Our students collaborate with award-winning producers, sound designers, and storytellers who've worked on everything from Marvel to MTV. We're not just teaching how to make a podcast – we're building a squad of bold young creators ready to rock the airwaves and make their mark on the world.
