The Children's Hour

Bear with us this time on The Children's Hour as we learn about bears. Meet the legendary Dr. Lynn Rogers from the North American Bear Center. Find out how these gentle giants fit into our ecology, where and how they live, and how Dr. Rogers overcame his fear of bears. It's a bears podcast for kids, with a companion learning guide and activities.

Join The Children's Hour as we say goodbye to summer with the summertime best releases in 2026. Get ready to hang up your towel and grab your lunchbox, but first we have a dance party in this musical special.

Learn with our kids science podcast about exoplanets on The Children’s Hour. The Kids Crew talk with an exoplanetologist, Dr. Diana Dragomir. We discover what an exoplanet is, and how astronomers find them in a vast sea of stars. Find out if they have found aliens, and how you can help in the search.

Learn about fossils in a Kids Crew field trip to a secret fossil quarry in the mountains outside of Albuquerque, as well as in a chat with New Mexico Natural History Museum educator Mike Sanchez. Will we become fossilized too? Fossils teach us about the Ice Age and climate change at the La Brea Tar pits in the heart of Los Angeles. This episode comes with a Learn-Along guide and is mixed with great music.
