KidNuz: News for Kids
by Starglow Media
From the publisher
KidNuz: Kids deserve a daily newscast all their own. Kickstart their morning with 7 minutes of timely, unbiased, and age-appropriate stories from politics, entertainment, science, health, and sports.
What KidNuz: News for Kids is recognised for
Binge-worthy
Rated 4.6 or better AND 300+ episodes. Episode count alone says nothing — plenty of shows are long and mediocre — so this is the two together: worth getting into, with somewhere to go.
Every distinction here is either computed from the whole catalogue or picked by us and labelled as such. How each one is decided

How to read this: each number is how many reviews raised that topic in their own words — not a percentage or a score. Bars compare topics within a box only, so the longest bar is whatever came up most here, marked Top. The dots above show how much evidence we have, not how good the show is.
This summarises what reviewers said. It isn't our verdict, and we don't write reviews ourselves. See exactly how every number is calculated.

THERE’S NO SUMMER?! ( episodes)
why!! But other than that it is one of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to but it does need longer episodes because there is so much information one 20-30 minutes can hold so I want longer episodes please? But I don’t like that you don’t go in-depth detail so I want 30 seconds for each subject - Future impartial Critic
