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.
Parent reviews (20)
Real reviews from real parents — the ones we gather from public sources link back to where they were written, and the ones written here are marked as such.

Educates Children with Respect and Gives them a Voice
This is an excellent show, and such a good resource for educating children at home or at school. The Kids Crew interviews musicians, politicians, scientists, you name it. And the music is good too.

The young woman
I am going to be a few minutes early but I’ll let the girls out in the next couple hours to pick it all off so I will let her out when you are here so that we don’t have any issues and I will get it done before the next couple minutes my. Kids

Meaningful, gentle, and not dumbed down for kids
I originally stumbled across the Children’s Hour on an AM radio rebroadcast and we’ve enjoyed it ever since. Even as a parent I have learned new things from each of the show’s topics. Thank you for accessible depth and humor for the family!

Perfect for kids and parents!
My 5 and 3 year olds love this podcast! It’s the perfect mix of fun (good) songs and interesting facts with an engaging host and guests. Great for the parents to learn fun stuff from skunk knowledge to banned book. Especially nice for car rides. Love this podcast!

That’s cool
The fact that there’s a children’s radio and I’m like 10-year-old child I am pretty excited about that so that is actually really really nice because there’s a lot of stuff I can’t follow and listen to wanna play then going back to Washington in two days so yeah
