Customer Reviews
Great for kids and adults!
Love listening to this mother-daughter duo introduce new topics and help listeners learn. Each episode is long enough to learn some great new info, but not too long that kids start to lose attention. Maggie is the best!
Excellent!
Great podcast for kids and adults to listen to together.
Interesting for everyone
Fun, engaging, and interesting. The length is enough to learn something but not so long to be cumbersome. It’s so much fun that a kid and her grown-up co-host and invite experts on as guests, and the quiz element ties it all together without any pressure. Highly recommended.
