In an exciting development for families, NPR is introducing its first-ever children’s podcast, aimed at engaging young minds and their parents in shared learning experiences. As many parents know, podcasts provide a convenient entertainment source during commutes or while managing daily chores. With their popularity soaring, it’s now time for kids to join in on the fun.
About “Wow in the World”
Targeted at children aged 5 to 12, “Wow in the World” aims to spark curiosity through entertaining discussions about science, technology, discoveries, and inventions. The show will kick off on May 15 and feature a dynamic mix of intriguing questions and explanations about fascinating global events. Hosted by the energetic duo of Leo Green and Emma Taylor, both kids and adults will be treated to a lively presentation of news and information in a style that resonates with younger audiences.
A Unique Approach
What makes “Wow in the World” truly special is its unique approach: real kids will be involved in the questioning process. After all, who better to inquire about topics like “How do astronauts use the bathroom in space?” than the children themselves?
This podcast also serves as a fantastic means for families to bond through technology, all while stepping away from screens and television. With a touch of humor and engaging conversation, it promises to be a delightful alternative to bedtime stories or car rides.
“As parents and caregivers, we often struggle with the issue of screen time,” Leo Green shared. “This podcast isn’t just a break from screens; it’s a celebration of curiosity that encourages kids to ask more questions.” The tagline sums it up perfectly: “Eyes up. Screens Down. Jaws Dropped.” The goal is to foster family connections by presenting ideas and facts that can spark further exploration together.
Benefits of Listening Together
Learning becomes much more enjoyable when information is shared in a captivating way. Listening as a family not only revives the lost art of storytelling but also promotes discussion and critical thinking skills.
Where to Tune In
Starting next week, families can tune into “Wow in the World” via Apple Podcasts, npr.org/wow, and www.wowintheworld.com.
