Rhys Primrose and Paddy Crawley, both 16, had the idea to start a podcast when they used the platform for an assignment at school.
"We chose a podcast and our teacher really liked it and we really enjoyed making it," Mr Primrose said.
They decided to start their own podcast, which was a hit with fellow students and other school community members.
"Early this year we brought a Rodecaster (Podcast Recording Machine) to bring the sound quality to life," Rhys said.
"We then started up an Instagram account and posted the podcast on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Player FM, IHeartRadio, Samsung Podcast and Podbean and got over 600 listeners - more than we expected.
"Our school loved the idea and teachers kept on asking about when the next episode was."
The two now produce two podcasts that include interviews with community members and former school students.
"The response to our podcast has been amazing," Rhys said.
He said people from all around Australia and a few from different countries across the world had tuned in to the podcasts.
"Our aim for the school cast is to try and make a monthly podcast or three-monthly podcast based on our school and its history," Rhys said.
The two said they were very grateful for the support they had received from the community.
