Kingdom: Animalia - A Zoology Podcast for Kids

About Kingdom: Animalia - A Zoology Podcast for Kids

This is a for-kids-(and adults)-by-kids-(and chickadees) animal podcast. In every regular episode, your host, Devon, and podcast-overthrowal-plotting chickadee co-hosts, Chet and Cap, will dive into all the facts about one species of animal with jokes, fun facts, and quizzes along the way. Every third-ish episode is our game show, Animalia Fake!, in which there are three rounds with four outrageous animal facts; one of those facts is so outrageous it’s an Animalia Fake (it’s not true), and you have to guess which it is. You can send in questions, comments, episode suggestions, or just a “hello” to animals@kapods.org, and you can learn more at https://kapods.org/animals. So what are you waiting for? Let’s explore this amazing Kingdom: Animalia. New episodes every 1–2 months.
