Do You Know Jack?
A fortnightly podcast for children and grownups by Jack, age 8, talks about what’s changing in the world, what the future could be like in Jack To The Future.
From the future of science, technology & inventions, to global issues affecting our planet, Eight-year-old Jack researches, plans, discusses, and designs podcast episodes that dig into anything pertaining to the future, and he finds a way to make it fun and inclusive, too!
Jack is an avid STEM enthusiast and would like to be an engineer, inventor and scientist when he grows up. He brings a sciencey and technological angle to all of his episodes, often with an invention idea or two thrown in there!
He interviews professionals in different fields about what they do; current trends they see; what their predictions for the future are and offers his take on things for discussion.
Jack and his dad adore the film Back To The Future and given the nature of the podcast, a slight edit to the title seemed more than apt!
The podcast is aimed at children aged 7+ but is also for adults 😊.
Jack’s mum, Laura does all the behind the scenes work, in terms of editing, arranging interviews and promotion etc., but Jack does the research, writes the questions, and conducts the interviews himself .
Jack started his podcast during lockdown in the UK, around March 2021, following a short stint on a local radio show. Jack is forever curious, always interested in how and why things work so this was a perfect platform for him to ask others accordingly.
“Since starting Jack To The Future, we have befriended a number of child podcasters and as a result have started listening to a number of different shows.” — Laura Andrews
Jack’s goal is to gain10K followers (no pressure! 😂) and to interview famous people! He wanted to know more about what our planet may look like in the future, particularly as his generation will lead the way with conservation and change. He is keen for children, like him, to be aware of what the future could be like and where things do need to change, what we can all do to help. He wants people to care about their future.
