Podcasts for Kids by Kids

Last updated: September 19, 2023

One of the best things about podcasts is that anyone can make one, even kids! These shows feature kid, tween, and teen hosts and main characters, which means that kids who listen will hear themselves reflected in the entertainment they enjoy. Not only does that let kids of all ages relate to what they're listening to, but it also empowers them to use their voice to tell their own stories. (They may even be inspired to create their own podcast.) Help your kids see themselves in the media by sharing these other great podcast picks: Podcasts with Diverse Characters and Stories, Kids & Family Podcasts with Black Hosts and Black Lead Characters, and Kids & Family Podcasts with Latino Hosts and Latino Lead Characters.
