332: Here’s why we need more student podcasters: meet Zach of We the Children


Our special guest this week is Zach, the host of the incredible podcast ‘We The Children’

Zachary Fox-DeVol, or Zach, is a curious 12-year-old with a passion for the environment and a mind eager to learn more about our planet. In June 2020, during a summer writing project, Zach ventured into the world of podcasting and created “Rule Of The Bark” . This unique podcast, told from a dog’s perspective, provides humorous interviews and helpful tips on raising dogs.

Zooming ahead to December 2021, Zach’s interest took a serious turn toward climate change. This led to ‘We The Children,’ where, at 12 years old, he dives into climate discussions and solutions from a youthful viewpoint. The podcast illuminates how kids like him care deeply about Earth’s future and their actions’ pivotal role in shaping a sustainable planet.

In the summer of 2023, Zach was honored to join an Australian Radio Station as a US Ambassador, engaging in enlightening interviews on Funky Kids Radio. Additionally, he’s taken up speaking engagements at schools and clubs, advocating for the environment, recycling, and composting among kids. 

When he’s not busy pondering our planet or podcasting, he enjoys working on magic tricks, playing chess, mastering the Rubik’s cube, and spending time with his pets—a dog named Ewok and a cat named Pax. 

Zach’s “Production Team” includes his Kindergarten/Second-grade teacher and friend, Clare Marder, making his podcasting journey a collaborative and educational experience.
