Deep in the heart of the legendary state of North Carolina, where the Blue Ridge Mountains whisper secrets to the Atlantic Ocean, a motley crew of spirited kids come together for a rather extraordinary activity - podcasting. These aren't your everyday children, oh no siree! They are the Podcast Pioneers, a gang as diverse as the state they call home. Breaking the fourth wall, let's introduce our larger-than-life character, Microphone Mike - a funky, green-haired, lanky fellow with a voice as smooth as Carolina barbecue sauce. And boy, does he love to talk! Mike is the imaginary mentor and guide for these podcasting prodigies. He's about as common as seeing a squirrel water skiing on Lake Norman, but well, that's another story! The Podcast Pioneers are as unique and varied as the North Carolinian landscapes. From the sandy beaches of the Outer Banks to the sprawling metropolises like Charlotte and Raleigh, these kids come from every corner of the state. There's Billy, the jokester from Asheville who loves to tickle your funny bone with his comedic tales. Lila, from the coastal town of Wilmington, weaves magical stories of mermaids and pirates. And don’t forget Raleigh's tech whizkid, Robbie - when he's not fixing the recording equipment, you'll find him exploring the mysteries of the universe in his segments. Together, they share stories, laugh till their bellies ache, and explore the remarkable world of sound, taking the listeners on a joyous journey across the Tar Heel State. They are the Podcast Pioneers, bringing to life the spirit of North Carolina, one episode at a time!

We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are.
