That said, kids podcasting is a genre that Ive been following closely over the past few years.
The show has a majorStrangerThingsvibe, featuring a full cast of actual kids.
Its also being adapted into a TV showthats been picked up by Disney+.
(So youd get storiesanda bit of anthropology!)
A similar approach can be found on theStories Podcast, which is broader in its assortment of classic tales.
Theres alsoa whole curriculum-guide componentto the proceedings, which can help by adding some structure to the mix.
Science and Education
The childrens podcast space is remarkably rich with material dedicated to science education.
Start out withTumble, an indie operation thats also long been one of the leading advocates for the genre.
Note that they have ateachers store, which sells affordably priced learning supplements to go with their episodes.
(Some of these materials have been made free since social-distancing measures went into place.)
Previous matchups have included Cats vs.
Dogs, Invisibility vs.
Flight, Unicorns vs. Dragons.
You know, the essential stuff.
That feed, calledRadiolab for Kids, includes such hits as Zoos, Space, and Mapping Tic-Tac-Toedom.
Finally, a quick shout-out toThe Show About Science.
(As a side note, I believe Butkus remains the youngest podcasterto appear on daytime television.)
There has also been music, which the show bundled up andreleased as an album last year.
More of a mindfulness household?
Consider trying outBest Day Yet, a project by a Wisconsin-based yogi that delivers positive-thinking-oriented affirmations designed for children.
Be sure to check out the website, as it comes with accompanying teaching tips.
