Mashups is a new podcast, brought to you by Kids Listen, that introduces you to some of our talented friends. We want you to get a taste of these kidcasts and their pods. In each episode we ‘mash up’ two KL podcasts, first through an introductory clip, then a game that mashes up their styles and brings out their personalities, and ending with a behind-the-scenes bit they chose to share with you.
Meet two smart podcasts that make learning fun! The Good Words Podcast’s Lynn and Cool Facts About Animals’ Ali and her kids Grady, Clara & Teddy bring their collective wit, acumen and phat lexicon to the table. See if you can play along and test your knowledge of words used to describe groups of different animals. We start off with a highlight they each share showcasing their mash-up partner’s pod, and end with a personal contribution created just for you listeners.
