That show was amazing! So many big names got their start on that show. And only one season

If they like fiction stories, gen-z media has some good series that are presented as long series of podcasts

They are good for puzzles, building legos and drawing as well


Yes! In my familiy (kids ages 7 and 9) they also like to do needlework or oragami.

I listen to audiobooks with my 14 year old DS.





Unspookable seems interesting. Thank you for the recommendation!

Look, I like Mike as much as anyone but the 2nd two are not for tweens/teens, and only a handful of YWA episodes would be interesting to that age group.


NP, it depends on the actual episode. Some are just fine for tween/teens

I have the same question. Honest question. How are podcasts better than TV as long as you pick quality shows

Are you envisioning just sitting down and listening to a podcast all together? I don’t know anyone who does that, podcasts are for when you are driving, working out, walking the dog, doing the dishes and such. I also don’t see the supposed benefit vs watching TV.

We live TAL, but also listen to storytellers like Kevin Kling. His 2007 album, Alive, is one of my 12-year-old's favorites (and mine as well). We've listened to it countless times over the past few years.
