Podcasts for Kids

Here is an example of a podcast that adults on SoundCloud created to use as a way to educate young learners. The description of this podcast reads as follows, 

"A History Podcast for Kids! Parents love us, Teachers love us, and most importantly, kids do too! History can be amazing, inspiring, and relevant to anyone. We love to share the stories of Spies, funny foods, George Washington's foibles, early advancements in cartooning and ballooning, and much more! A professional music score and important songs accompany nearly every themed episode. Proud Kids Listen, Member, @pastandcurious"

Check out many more on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, or almost any music streaming platform.

Here is an example of a podcast an instructor and students created on SoundCloud to discuss a specific topic in response to an excerpt from a text. The discussion was led by the students, but facilitated by the instructor. The description of the podcast reads as follows, 
 

"The Speakeasy Podcast is brought to you by Year 9 students from Phoenix Academy in West London, in partnership with expert role model, DD Armstrong and creative arts and education social enterprise, Castletown Arts. It is a podcast for students, by students. It was recorded and produced as part of a Race Equality Action Project, led by Routes2Success - a role-model and mentoring program for ethnic minority young people, aged 10 - 25, by anti-racism charity, Action for Race Equality."
