About this listen

Those 6 Tweens is a podcast made by kids, for kids! We ask the big questions you might be wondering like how to enjoy gaming in a healthy way, how to feel more confident as you go through puberty, how to bounce back from disappointment (especially in sport), and everything to do with friendship: making friends, keeping friends, and all the ups and downs.

Created and hosted by tweens in Frankston, this podcast highlights local kids’ voices. It was made with help from Kananook Primary School and Communities for Children Frankston, a program of Anglicare.

In each episode, we chat with each other and with awesome and inspiring guests from our local community to explore topics that are important, sometimes tricky, and always interesting.

Our goal? To help you feel more informed, more confident, and more connected—because you're not alone!
