Only three short years ago, CBC launched a series of groundbreaking videos called Small Talk. Their big idea is to talk to real kids about issues like fear, friendship, love, mistakes, sharing. The videos are about 3 minutes long and feature a wide range of natural conversions with all type of kids.

Small Talk is a show about kids, for kids, by kids! Host Dave Keystone sits down with spirited kids to chat one-on-one about a variety of topics that cover both the serious and silly. Shot in the beautiful Canadian countryside, Small Talk is fun, insightful and completely unscripted.

Check them out! They are very real, on target, uncontrived and illuminating.
