      Children

      Are there many good podcasts for kids? Some say no — see, "Where Are All the Kidcasts? Kids learn from podcasts, so why aren’t adults making more for them?" (The Atlantic, Mar. 31, 2016)

      I agree that there ought to be more, but even right now there are some high-quality podcasts for kids.

      This chapter lists some of the best ones, with topics such as:

      classic and modern stories

      stories written by kids

      book reviews

      quiz shows

      science

      technology

      comics

      music

      world cultures.

      Follow the link on each title to visit each podcast website. Read on, for some fun and fascinating podcasts!

A different child co-hosts each episode, together with adult hosts from public radio — Sanden Totten, Marc Sanchez, and Molly Bloom.
