Chit Chat Challenge

Chit Chat Challenge is a kid’s podcast based in Honolulu, Hawaii, where elementary-age kids chat about kid stuff! Each episode kids debate kid-centric topics; by the end of each 15-minute episode they must all agree on the top 5 things about that topic. Chit Chat Challenge helps kids explore emotional intelligence, public speaking & debate, build confidence and exercise their brain through design thinking. They also talk about topics unique to growing up in Hawaii, the most remote island chain on earth. Chit Chat Challenge is hosted by Isla Frank Whitney, 4th grader at Aina Haina Elementary School and sponsored by Lilikoi Project Hawaii, a Hawaii community-based organization helping motivate women to elevate passion projects and small business to the next level.

Isla is Boss!

Aloha! My name is Isla, I’m 9 years old and in 4th grade. I go to Aina Haina elementary school. My favorite subject is math, PE, and lunch. I like to play tennis🎾, dance🪩, and go to the 🏖️ beach with my friends and family. One of my favorite things to do is to travel 🧳 with my family. I have a podcast because I want other keiki (kids) to know what other keiki think of my topics and what it’s like to live in Hawaii. Maybe keiki will want to visit me in Hawaii sometime. Mahalo!
