BRGM and France Inter have designed two seasons of the podcast "Les aventures du Professeur Caillou" produced by Radio France Studios, a series aimed at 7-11 year-olds to discover minerals and geology.
The BRGM (Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières) is France's benchmark public establishment in Earth sciences, dedicated to managing the resources and risks of the soil and subsoil.
The request
BRGM wanted to develop a project aimed atraising children's awareness of science by introducing them to minerals and geology. The aim of this initiative was to inform children and their parents about environmental issues in a fun and educational way, by pooling technical and editorial resources to facilitate understanding of current ecological challenges.
Our response
Radio France Studios collaborated with BRGM to design a six-episode series aimed at children aged 7 to 11, devoted to elements and materials such as aluminum, sapphire and chlorine. Our teams mobilizedthe entire top-of-the-line audio production ecosystem at Radio France to deliver a listening experience that is both educational and immersive: writing and art direction, casting, recording, directing, sound design, editing and mixing.
This podcast is also part of Radio France's youth offering and Mon petit France Inter, the new radio station dedicated to children under 12, available on the website and app. It thus contributes to making scientific culture accessible to young audiences and their families.
