Seeking recommendations for podcasts about science or nature, suitable for an 8-year-old. We enjoy "Lachlabor" and "Anna und die Wilden Tiere" in German but haven't tried much in English. (We are planning to drive the EV from Switzerland to the UK, and it's going to be a long trip.)

@solar_chase@mastodon.green I think this is mostly kid friendly, depending on the topic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_Vs

@solar_chase@mastodon.green It's not "for" kids, but I've been listening to CBC Radio's "Quirks and Quarks" since I was 8 or even younger. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks

@solar_chase@mastodon.green I have always loved BBC’s In Our Time, https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01gyd7j, not sure about the age suitability though.

@solar_chase@mastodon.green Operation Ouch is a good medical program aimed at kids https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p09rvgl4?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

@solar_chase@mastodon.green There are often questions from kids and young adults on CrowdScience, and they explain concepts really well. It’s one of my favourites. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04d42rc https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/crowdscience/id1172855980
