Best Kids & Family Podcast: Wow in the World (WINNER)

Parents already know how addictive a good podcast can be (Serial, anyone?). Now our kids will too, thanks to NPR’s first ever podcast for children.

We are so honored the National Science Foundation has given us the opportunity to develop an innovative platform that will get many more children excited to put on their listening ears and improve their overall chances for academic success.

Part radio comedy, part scientific research, this podcast is all high-energy and jam-packed with so much sneaky snuck-in science that the learning is almost subliminal.

The science of recess, diamonds and your dog's nose were all tackled in the first season of NPR's podcast Wow in the World. It's a podcast aimed at kids and imaginative adults.

Since the NPR podcast for kids “Wow in the World” debuted in May, he’s listened to every episode three times. “It’s a little funner” than television, James said. “My brain works better.”

"Where does an astronaut poop?" NPR's Guy Raz and Mindy Thomas have the answer to this, and many other important questions in this podcast specifically designed to delight kids (and their parents.

Teachers, parents and kids can extend the “wow” with hundreds of hands-on science, STEAM, ESL and ELA activities. Eyes Up. Screens Down. Jaws Dropped.

Wow in the World is a Mom’s Choice Awards® Gold Recipient and has been named among the best in family-friendly media, products and services.
