  • Educates Children with Respect and Gives them a Voice

    This is an excellent show, and such a good resource for educating children at home or at school. The Kids Crew interviews musicians, politicians, scientists, you name it. And the music is good too.

  • Meaningful, gentle, and not dumbed down for kids

    I originally stumbled across the Children’s Hour on an AM radio rebroadcast and we’ve enjoyed it ever since. Even as a parent I have learned new things from each of the show’s topics. Thank you for accessible depth and humor for the family!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pumpkin Spice Podcast For Kids
Q: You have a program called the Be a Pal program. Can you talk a little bit about that?
The Be a Pal program is a national initiative from FAIR focused on inclusion and helping friends with food allergies avoid reactions by practical steps like avoiding the allergen, washing hands, recognizing symptoms, and knowing when to get help.
Skunks Podcast For Kids
Q: How do skunks spray and direct their spray?
The spray is directed by specialized nipples at the base of the scent glands; they can release a directed stream or a cloud depending on the threat, with different spraying patterns based on proximity and whether the predator is seen.
Skunks Podcast For Kids
Q: What is a skunk?
Dr. Dragoo explains that skunks are omnivores with diverse diets, notable for their anal scent glands and specific species, and that they are not rodents despite common misconceptions.
The Sun Podcast For Kids
Q: What is the sun made of and how old is it?
The Sun is halfway through its life cycle at about 4.5 billion years old, and it is mostly hydrogen (about 75%) with helium making up about 24%, plus trace elements. This composition is common to many stars and explains why the Sun shines by nuclear fusion.
Dragons Podcast For Kids
Q: Mari, what inspired you to write a prequel to New Dragon City and to imagine dragons arriving in our world five years earlier?
I wanted to explore fresh angles on dragon lore, show how communities react to extraordinary events, and give kids a lens to discuss big changes—like how families adapt when there are dragons and when parents disagree about how to handle new realities.
