We are a mother-daughter team of podcasters who crawl under the bed each week to record our news podcast for kids.Why under the bed? Because the sound is better there (and it makes us laugh)! We live in India but have roots across the world.

As you know, we’re on a summer break… But we’re not leaving the news pool high and dry. Oh, no! We have a few episode’s swaps in store for you with other podcasters, who are part of the fabulous Kids Listen Community. That’s a group of producers making audio content for kids. Check out their website kidslisten.org to hear a ton of great podcasts – from factual, like ours, to fictional stories that spark the imagination. And some are a mix of fact and fiction – real information along with made-up entertainment – like Dorktales Storytime, who were swapping with this podcast. Dorktales is a kids podcast of social emotional fairy tales, hidden hero histories and lores where anything-is-possible. In this episode they uncover the life of Maya Lin, the visionary artist and architect behind one of the most visited memorials in America. Enjoy! And see you in August!
