We live in a time where there is a podcast for every topic and every person, including kids. 

And the market hasn’t gone untapped — about 29 percent of children ages 6-12 listen to podcasts. With an audience this big, and so eager to tune in, what do you talk to these kids about? 

MPR News host Angela Davis talks to the hosts of Brains On! and Forever Ago about the award-winning shows they create for curious kids and curious adults. With the help of a special co-host, the show goes into the Brains On! Universe to hear about the podcasts that are all about learning, exploring and getting involved.
