بودكاست The Week Junior

My kids fight over who gets to press play each Sunday morning, and the way the hosts break down big headlines into bite-sized stories actually sparks real dinner-table conversations. It’s the only screen-free news source they ask for by name.

The episodes are short enough to hold my 8-year-old's attention, and it’s sparked real conversations about current events at dinner. I appreciate that the hosts explain complex news in a way kids can actually follow.

We listen to this on the drive to school and it’s genuinely the one podcast my 10-year-old asks for by name. The hosts break down the headlines in a way that’s actually understandable for that 8-to-14 age range, though I wish the episodes were a bit longer sometimes.
