Kidacity- Learn. Share. Grow
Welcome to Kidacity where kids learn, share, and grow together.
Our brand new season - season 12 of the podcast explores how the world actually works by taking big, often confusing ideas — like power, money, geopolitics, and business — and breaking them down through real stories, expert conversations, and thoughtful explanations. Instead of just reacting to headlines, it focuses on understanding the systems, choices, and consequences that shape everyday life. It's designed for curious young minds - like yours and mine - to think critically, question easy narratives, and see the world with clarity, context, and confidence.
A little bit about me: I'm an 13 year old from Bengaluru, India and a student of Grade 8 in The International School Bengaluru. I love building structures with Jenga blocks, learning about planes, writing, my dog Yuki's nose and most of all, Japan. I research a lot about these topics and share what I learn with my family and friends. My parents encouraged me to write and I have published 2 books so far. The Talking Walking Tree and Konnichiwa Izumi: Adventures in 2040. Both of them are available on Amazon and at leading bookstores in India.
I will be grateful if you encourage me by listening to my podcast, reading my books and sharing your feedback with me.

Episode 122- Future Frames - The Myths Of Whose In Charge.

Who really runs the world?
Governments? Big companies? International organisations? Or someone else entirely?
In this episode of Kidacity, we break down the biggest myths about power — from “governments control everything” to “tech companies rule the world” and “ordinary people don’t matter.” Using real-world examples from technology regulation, global institutions, and public movements, we explore how power actually works today.
Instead of rulers, the modern world is shaped by systems — political, economic, technological, and cultural — where governments, companies, institutions, and people constantly interact and influence outcomes.
This episode isn’t about conspiracy theories or simple answers. It’s about understanding how the world negotiates with itself — and why that understanding matters, especially for young people growing up in an increasingly complex global system.
Welcome to Kidacity.
Where curiosity is power.
Until next week - goodbye and Jai Hindh from Kidacity!
