Fun Kids

Children's media content platform

Co-founder · with Gregory Watson · www.funkidslive.com

Fun Kids is the UK’s children’s radio station and a multi-platform media brand creating entertainment and educational content for children and families. Alongside its radio stations, it produces podcasts, videos, games, quizzes and online content, giving kids plenty to listen to, watch, discover and get involved with.

It’s also become a major producer of children’s podcasts, with shows covering everything from science, books and history to stories, comedy and days out. The Fun Kids Podcast Network combines its own programmes with shows from other independent British creators, while the wider Fun Kids brand works with publishers, entertainment companies and other organisations to create engaging, age-appropriate content for children.

Gregory and I acquired what was then Fun Radio from Global in 2009, having set it up originally at precursor company GCap Media in 2005.
