Southend Hospital Radio Kids

Neptune Ward is Southend University Hospital’s children’s ward, and in 2018, we added a new show to our lineup, just for them.

The show is made for the kids, by the kids – and is presented by best friends Kara and Kathryn, aged 11.

Each show features a mix of music chosen by the two girls, plus quizzes, jokes and brain teasers to help put a smile on the hospital’s most special ward.

In the girls’ own words: “We know it can be scary being in hospital, and we try to make you laugh with our cheesy jokes, and get you thinking with our logic puzzles.”

“You can listen to us on a Saturday afternoon from 2pm, and again on Wednesday at 3pm. We hope that the kids (and the staff) on Neptune Ward enjoy our special hour of music and fun!”
