Last Week: Watersheds
The whole world is a giant watershed. Learn what watersheds are, and how they are impacted by forest fires. All over the world, people rely upon watersheds for drinking water, irrigating farmland, and for ecosystems. We are joined by educators from the New Mexico Watershed and Forest Restoration Institute, Natalia Shaw and Raymundo Melendez, along with educator and ecologist Dr. Krista Bonfantine.
This Week: The Olympics
Athletes from around the world are gearing up for the Summer Olympic games, which begin July 26, 2024. This time on The Children’s Hour, learn all about the Olympics from the time they were created around 3,000 years ago, to them now being one of the biggest sporting competitions in the world. We explore the cultural role the Olympics play in bringing people of the world together. This episode was written and produced by our summer intern, Thaniel.
Next Week: Communication Nation Episode 1 - Speaking the Truth
Communication Nation Episode One: Speaking the Truth: Media Literacy & Misinformation is the first of a four part radio series exploring communication to better understand one another. We can only have effective communication when we can trust our sources. We learn about media literacy and misinformation from Eisha Buch at Common Sense Media. It’s media literacy for kids, this time on The Children’s Hour. Comes with learning guides!
