THEY'RE believed to be the planet's youngest podcasters - and they're broadcasting to the world from their front room in Fair Oak!
Six-year-old Robin Ford and her sister Juno, aged four, are the hosts of I'm Not Complaining.
Each week or so, the Fair Oak Infant School pupils present a new episode with stories of their lives, jokes, songs and a book review.
The show started during the country's final Covid lockdown and has been running since March 2020, meaning Juno was just two when she began her broadcasting career!
The girls have listeners of all ages from all over the world, including New Zealand and the USA, and have attracted such probing questions as what do you wear at Halloween, how do you make Corn Flakes, what would you call a dog and what's the best pizza topping?!

The podcast came about because gardener dad Jack, who listens to podcasts all day at work, decided to launch his own show about his love of Christmas. Robin and Juno loved helping out with the festive fun on The Total Christmas Podcast and wanted a slice of the podcast action.
Jack said: "The girls really enjoy it, just chatting about things that happen to them at school, laughing, singing and occasionally arguing!
"There are no adverts and no Patreon, it's just for fun and to meet new people. They love audience interaction and when they hear it's someone's birthday or a listener says they love the show, they send them a letter or a card with a drawing on."
Robin told the Daily Echo: "My favourite bit of the podcast is probably doing the joke as sometimes I find it really funny myself!"
Juno added: "I love it when we sing the song at the end and say goodbye, see you next time."
Each episode of I'm Not Complaining is about ten minutes long. The latest episode, number 66, features Juno's turbulent love life and her new boyfriend, school photo day and an interesting dream.
Robin and Juno are hoping to expand the platform and add some interviews to the show in future.
