More About Funky Kids Radio
Funky Kids Radio is an on-line broadcast...for kids!! Their goal is to bring a MASSIVE variety of music and storytelling into family homes and care environments...jaded by the THREE HUNDREDTH repeat of the only 2 kids CD's owned!!
Anyone can listen from their computer or their mobile devices through the FREE iOS and Android app's. They stream at only 32 kbps so this minimises data downloads and drop out issues.
Funky Kids Radio play the favourites (and do find the need to "Wash our faces in Orange Juice"), but also introduce artists that don't quite have the same marketing power in the playground. So, yes, The Wiggles and Hi-5...but also The Mudcakes, Kate Rowe and Barry Peters. There's a good balance of music for the grown-ups too! They are also totally focussed on supporting Australian Artists (both Children's music and other genre's) and are devoted to Aussie kids hearing Aussie voices.
There are some pretty clear values on what's IN and what's NOT:
IN:
- Fun.
- Learning.
- Dancing like nuts.
- Songs about ducks.
NOT:
- "Wash your mouth with soap" language.
- Lyrics you wouldn't sing to your grandmother.
- Downers (songs or people).
- Junk food.
