Can anyone recommend some educational podcasts?

[Mabelann]

My year 2 (just turned 7yr old) has really enjoyed all the homeschool history podcasts. He’s finished them all and I think repeat listened to them too! He’s also listened to all of the big life kids podcast (which teaches growth mindset). He’s also worked his way through a lot of the horrible histories ones.

Can anyone recommend anything else similar or suitable for his age? He has specifically requested a learn french one. It would have to be absolute basics because he hasn’t done any french before. But failing that I think he’s enjoy anything sciency.

"You're Dead to me," is a radio 4 history podcast for grownups but totally ok for kids. Done by "chief nerd" of horrible histories

Thanks, my older child has discovered you’re dead to me, my 7 year old won’t get the humour I don’t think. I think it’s a bit advanced for him!

Have a look at Ologies!

Can I be really dopey & ask how you listen to these podcasts please? TY

You could try the Duolingo app for French.

I was thinking duolingo for french too.

Also- he sounds like a great kid!

@despondentatwork both my boys have old hand-me-down iPhones with no SIM cards that they can use at home on the WiFi so they use the podcasts app on those.

Download bbc sounds app and type you're dead to me in search. It will be there

The Classic FM app (which I downloaded to my phone and tablet) has a great selection of podcasts and the ones my kids liked are:

• David Walliams' Marvellous Musical Podcast
• The Week Junior Show
• Fierce Girls
• Story Pirates
• Tumble Science Podcast for Kids

(as well as Homeschool History.)

We had some very long car journeys across the UK last summer and I downloaded hours of these and they were all so quiet for these journeys! I mean IMO they're lovely kids but I was still shocked by how easy the journeys were!

Also Amazon be Audible books!
