What’s It About?
Each episode of CULTURE KIDS PODCAST, hosts Kristen and her son, Asher, lead listeners on a fun educational adventure. They explore international foods, global landmarks, diverse holiday celebrations, and pop culture from around the world. One episode may focus on Taekwondo and its history, while another introduces listeners to Ethiopian cuisine. Kristen and Asher share a lot of interesting facts and trivia, like how the Pokémon Bulbasaur's design was based on a bulldog and an onion. They also make sure to define more advanced vocabulary, like "melodramatic" and "philosophy." Throughout the episodes, the importance of curiosity and respect for others is emphasized.
Is It Any Good?
This podcast is just as fun and endearing as it is educational, and it's great for family listening. Culture Kids Podcast explores fascinating topics that will interest all ages, and does so in 15-minute episodes packed with fun facts, history, and jokes. The show celebrates the global and diverse society we live in and will definitely get kids interested in learning more about the many cultures and parts of the world they hear about. Each episode is well researched and presented. Kristen speaks in a clear and friendly voice, and having Asher as a co-host is great because he can ask questions and share opinions from a child's perspective. Families looking for an upbeat podcast that fosters curiosity and kindness will enjoy Culture Kids Podcast.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
