SQUIZ KIDS ANNOUNCEMENT: A message from Bryce Corbett about our new subscription offer Nov 29, 2021

Show notes

Squiz Kids has launched a Squiz Kids subscription offer on Apple podcasts - just in time for the summer holidays.

What will Squiz Kids subscribers get?

There will be a fun quiz each week where kids can compete against the adults because who doesn't love a bit of friendly rivalry…

And for the school holidays, you’ll also get two of our special Squiz Kids Shortcuts each week. They take a deeper dive into a topic in the news and they’re designed to spark kids’ curiosity about the world around them. Topics range from Earthquakes + Volcanoes to Girl Power to Clever Critters to Roald Dahl and Mars… They’re all aligned to the Australian curriculum, and they’re guaranteed to get your family talking.

How much?

First week is free and then it's $6.99 a month to support Squiz Kids to keep on keeping on. Plus you get more great content, so you know … win-win.

How do I subscribe?

Squiz Kids Subscriber content is only available via Apple podcasts. I hope you’ll join us as we continue to pique children’s curiosity and hopefully instil in them a thirst for knowledge about the world they’re growing up in.

See /privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
