All 12 epsidoes are available here now or wherever you get your podcasts, and you can listen to the first episode by pressing play up top.
Here's the story
Kaifina is a creative eight-year-old child and when the world presents her or anyone in her family with a problem, she listens, gathers the facts and sets to work on creating a solution (in her very own Universe of Song).
Like any superhero with a superpower Kaifina wants to help everyone around her. Her brother Frankie is a big inspiration and a hero to her. The way Frankie experiences the world is wonderfully unique but sometimes there are challenges and together they are always looking to overcome problems with fun and creative solutions.
Kaifina and Frankie like to invite the children that are listening to the show at home to get involved with the lyric writing and music making too.
Kaifina says: "Writing a song is like making a cake, you need a strong spongey foundation, a tasty twist in the middle and a sweet melody on top!"
Their parents Mami and Pops, their cat Lucy and their dog Rexi are always there to support them.
When Kaifina solves each problem with a song she exclaims: "I SEND THIS SONG OUT INTO THE UNIVERSE!"
And now *An exclusive interview with the characters from the radio show.
Interviewer: What type of children and parents will really enjoy this show, Kaifina?
Kaifina: Oh that’s an easy question to answer, children and parents who love music-making, playing with words, creativity, nature, animals, baking, going to the beach, holidays and fun stuff like that.
Interviewer: Okay it sounds like there is something there for everyone Kaifina and Frankie can I ask you what will children learn from the show?
Frankie: Lots of things; that you can solve everyday problems through creativity and the children that are listening at home can even learn how to write their very own songs.
Interviewer: Oh, that sounds like a fun activity.
Kaifina: Yes, it’s a lot of fun and you know parents can join in with the songwriting too. We like to write songs as a family. When we finish writing our songs, and before we sing them, we always like to say, "we send this song out into the universe." It’s our way of sending some peace and love from our family out around world!
