After weeks of preparation, we are finally ready to release our first episode of the Mog Pod!

Rosa, Jessie, Carlotta, Stella, Beatrix, Sienna and Sophie have worked very hard the past few weeks to create the school’s very own podcast.

So without further ado – here it is. We are really proud of it so please do take a listen:

What you can expect to hear in the Mog Pod: `

After an introduction, each member of the Mog Pod gave a brief summary of a piece of news they really think you need to know about. From robots to the Eurovision Song Contest and the impact of Covid on wild animals, there is a lot to unpick and find out about.

As this is our first release it’s a little bit of a teaser, but the idea is that we will introduce some news articles and then this will be followed by a big debate. Each debate will be based on a different theme of discussion. 

We worked on a practice debate: “Should we wear school uniform or not.” However, we would love our listeners to decide on subject matters for our future debates. If you have any ideas on what you would like to hear us discuss then please drop us an email at: mogchronicle@gmail.com

More about podcasts: 

Podcasts began to become known back in 2003 when software developer Dave Winer created the first audio RSS feed. One year later, the I-podder was invented which was the world’s first podcast listening device. Since then, the podcast has gone from strength to strength and shows no sign of stopping.

Podcasts are a form of entertainment and storytelling and cover a vast range of topics. There really seems to be a podcast for everyone and they cover all kinds of subject matter – from food, music, fashion and politics to authors, celebrities, true crime, comedy and health & fitness. You name it, there is a podcast for everything.

And now, JKPS is thrilled to have joined the podcast revolution too.
