Last Week: Elections with Ballotpedia

Learn all about elections with our friends at Ballotpedia, a nonpartisan resource for election information. Why doesn’t everyone vote, and how can we learn good voting habits? We’ll be talking about how elections work at all levels, from your town all the way up through the whole country! This civics podcast for kids comes with a free learning guide. Get inspired by the right to vote and learn with us about elections.

This Week: Gun Safety

Because kids are seeing guns in so many places, The Children’s Hour has tips on gun safety that hunting families have taught their kids for generations. We learn from kids who are hunters themselves on what hunting means to them, and we explore gun laws in the US and the world. Gun violence prevention begins with a conversation at home. Join us for this lifesaving episode of The Children’s Hour.

Next Week: Okee Dokee Brothers

Spend and hour with the Okee Dokee Brothers, as we explore their music, roots, and story in an exclusive Children’s Hour Kids Crew interview onsite at the Lensic in Santa Fe. Nina from our Kids Crew meets up with the duo backstage before a sold out performance for kids and families. Winners of five Parents’ Choice awards, a Grammy and frequent guests on PBS Kids, you’ll be singing along with the Okee Dokee Brothers and dreaming of canoe trips on long rivers. It’s a musical celebration of folk and bluegrass on The Children’s Hour.
